As a general guideline, if a playback device doesn't claim 4K support, it doesn't have an HEVC decoder, and therefore won't play ATSC 3 channels. I used an app called "Informer" to read out the capabilities of the Firestick and it lists... Video Support: H.265(HEVC), H.264, H.263, MPEG-4, MPEG-2 Au...

My 4K Firestick works fine but I just checked my 2nd Gen Firesticks ( Android 5.1 Lollipop ) HD App 20210107 and I get the "Unable to Play Channel: (android) video codec failed".

Ok, I admit I may be a bit of a Unicorn, but I didn't buy this tuner for the 4K HDR or enhanced audio. My motivation was for improved reception. ATSC 3.0 uses an entirely different modulation technique that is supposed to be more immune to multipath and weak reception. I live about 25 miles from the...

Same thing here too.

Can you please turn on "send diagnostic information" in the Android app, reproduce the problem, then post back with the device ID of your HDHomeRun. Device ID: 1080C638 The HECV decoder "OMX.qcom.video.decoder.hevc" in your phone is failing to decode the video. Nick I get the exact same error on my...

Is anyone else having issues with scanning for channels? I get wildly inconsistent results with anywhere from 3 to 30 channels picked up when I scan with the latest 20210104 firmware in the Portland area. I am in the Portland market and live about 25 miles west of the antenna farm. No line of sight...

Confirmed all channels working with audio.

PM sent. Thanks.

Thanks for the hint, but when I try to compose a PM I get a message that says I am not authorized to use this feature. I guess I'm too much of a noob to be trusted with this much responsibility .

Trying to send a Google drive link to Nick with the file he requested but I can't figure out how to send him a PM.
Any help please?

Latest firmware and Windows 10 app plays HEVC video for about 1 second thn freezes. No audio

Any updates regarding when the apps/firmware that will allow us to select between the HD and HEVC signals will be released?

Just ran hdhomerun_config_gui and manually tuned tuner 0 to rf ch33 and there is nothing there. They must be off the air.
