Re: What's the difference between the FDFX-4K and the TECH5-4K

That's nice for a fixed setup with multiple antennas that don't move. I'm thinking of something more like this including elevation along with azimuth https://oz1bxm.dk/eme/antenner-2020_900.jpg The combiner is simple for four antennas. You take the 300 ohm balanced lines and put them in a 2P2S combo...

Re: What's the difference between the FDFX-4K and the TECH5-4K

Yes, the TVfool db dates back to 2022 and misses many changes especially the new ATSC 3.0 lighthouse from Sutro Tower. This is lovely, thanks

Thanks. I image I'll be monitoring tuner quality with

Code: Select all

Re: What's the difference between the FDFX-4K and the TECH5-4K

The multiple tuner recording capabilities I see as benificial only on an omni setup, not a highly directional fringe antenna that is going for DX with 2 edge blocking such as this one that I can only get during the day when the sky is ionized properly that I also might need to selectively turn on a ...

Re: What's the difference between the FDFX-4K and the TECH5-4K

Or I could make a proxy that goes in between the tuner and the DVR/client software to pull out the info I need. That's a bit hacker-ish, but not outside how far I'd go. I had to do this to my Onkyo ATMOS preprocessor to fix a DLNA renderer bug as it wasn't advertising that it had volume control capa...

Re: What's the difference between the FDFX-4K and the TECH5-4K

I need the rotator as everything is around me. The furthest station I can get is 92 miles away and isn't even listed in TVFool

Re: What's the difference between the FDFX-4K and the TECH5-4K

Or I could have an FDFX on each of the antennas. Would it be possible to have a call-out via SOAP so I can get notified when a channel is being streamed? This would be so I can turn the fringe antenna to 36 degrees to get 8.1 from Sacramento or 137 for that station in Monterey Bay, for example. I gu...

Re: What's the difference between the FDFX-4K and the TECH5-4K

Thanks. I'm waiting on an FDFX to show up, then I'll play with it to see if suits my needs. Does the FDFX work with libdvbtee so I can scan for PSIP/EPG data? The issue I need to solve is that I use an antenna rotator and some DiSEqC switches for multiple antennas, so I need to make my own DLNA cont...

What's the difference between the FDFX-4K and the TECH5-4K

I plan to control the tuner using only hdhomerun_config from linux or essentially the API from libhdhomerun.so.4 once I write the Tcl extension
