I can confirm that the channels I was not receiving (105.1, 111.1, and 113.1) are all now working normally. One thing to note: I was always able to get video and sound on 112.1, but the guide says it's supposed to be Jewelry Television (JTV), but the channel that comes in on 112.1 is Guadelupe ...

I called Silicon Dust about this and left a message. They actually called me back! They said that the way Google TV does the DRM now has changed and it requires SiliconDust to have to re-write their program function. I was told however, it's such a new way that the developers will have to learn ...

I think what is needed is for "classic" interface be built into the app and be made to not rely on internet connections and can be selected as a default interface. While the new interface may be more internet dependent.

I went to one of my news programs I record that always has a date of over a ...

I posted this an hour ago on AVS forum. Hope I don't get in trouble with them.......

NAB "The Future of Television Initiative Report"

https://www.blog.nab.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/01.17.2025-%E2%80%93-Future-of-Television-Initiative-Report.pdf

I found this VERY interesting. I have ...

In a recent episode of Lon.tv, he discussed a report from the FCC regarding ATSC 3.0. The report was about the ongoing discussions of the various industry and consumer groups about all things ATSC 3.0. I assume, though I may be wrong, that these are the discussions that SD has been involved in ...

The world that exists outside of the United States. There's a huge market for US TV shows and sports outside internationally, and as with anything, piracy provides a cheaper way to access it, what with not having to pay copyright holders. The concern there is very real. Whether ATSC 3.0 DRM will ...

They are putting on DRM/Encryption, so they don't have pirates setting up tuner farms and selling the signals cheap via IP tv, without them getting paid. IF it's all encrypted, AND pirates still steal the signals and sell them without the legal rights to do so, it's a whole different law to stop ...

The 2 CHSN channels broadcast OTA in Chicago have reportedly been downgraded from 1080i AVC to 720p MPEG2. So much for that great experiment.


the cows who in repeating fashion chew their food is always thinking the people on the other side of the wall is stupid and they stride to treat the ...

While I generally agree with what you are saying here I would beg to differ on one use case I.e. sports. Fox Sports upscaled 1080p in HDR is spectacular on my LG C6 OLED. I would be tickled pink to be able to get all my sports in this format going forward…
OLED makes a big difference - it has a ...

Personally I am not a fan of HDR - it seems to have a big downside with little benefit.

Operating in SDR mode will never be worse than HDR mode for content with normal range brightness and can be better than HDR mode for content with normal range brightness.

1) There is no difference in black ...

It looks like it! Frustrating that SD would rather censor messages then offer an honest reply on the subject. It was originally intended to stop competitive products from appearing in search results but now they seem to be blocking even obscure abbreviations.

Which is why I asked a while back why the HD Homerun could not be modified so it could at least tune and receive encrypted ATSC 3.0 stations so they could be at least viewed on the TV but not record them until the legal stuff is resolved. Seems like an easy change to me.

Making that change ...

Here is a rather direct question for SD.

I have used your hardware and software for years and contine to do so.

However owners of your 4K tuners are unable to record any programming in 4K or even view programing.
No progress appears to being made to change this, so why bother selling 4K capable ...

*Note to forum moderators - I had to space out the spelling for **** in order to get it to display, this is a perfectly legitimate media center which does not condone piracy but 3rd parties make pirate add-ons available for it. This has nothing to do with the media center software itself, in ...
