I bought an HD home run flex 4K and mostly love it however with my three separate Samsung TV and fire stick 4K combinations the HD home run app crashes when trying to access a next GEN channel or recording. So I contacted customer service and quickly got a reply, which was very encouraging, which ...

the only clear resolution is for the court to get involved, however the fcc will have to light their fire first.

IMO, it's better that they don't post provocative political crap in the first place, and stick to the real topic without the obvious political overtones being stressed too ...

They are killing OTA so it will all be streaming. Look at NBC with Peacock and CBS with Paramount +.

Have the blessing of? They're essentially the same thing.

I've got a hunch the fcc is about to drop a bombshell on the broadcasters with regards to encryption.


What makes you think that after all this time?


the amount of time that has passed since the public comment and the subsequent responses from the parties involved for and against.

That's not going to help the actual broadcasters. On the contrary, that will cut them out completely. Although networks do own some stations, most are owned by the tv mafia of Nexstar, Tegna ...

No symbol quality on ATSC 3.0 when signal quality is good means there's no data coming in, which either means there just isn't anything being broadcast at the time or there's something about the way the broadcast is configured that means the HDHomeRun isn't finding the data.

Our pending Wichita KS license poses an interesting problem... do we ATSC 1.0 or ATSC 3.0?

Is that set in stone as part of the paperwork, or can you change with sufficient notice? Despite the long-term uncertainty of 3.0, there certainly aren't many 3.0 LPTV stations around.

It requires ...

any idea nick, of what channels you plan to carry on the silicondust LPTV network if I can mention it.

What does this mean to a consumer?


It won't have much of a direct impact, but it gives Silicondust another seat at the "table" to also be a broadcaster. It also gives us valuable experience that will help the HDHomeRun-side of things (special testing, trying ATSC 3.0 features that other ...

If a network decided to do an encrypted channel that required people to buy a converter box to view, that is not considered broadcasting under FCC policy. There is no ambiguity.

If all 4 networks decide to encrypt their primary channels, informing TV manufacturers that they have to build the ...
