Many of the local broadcasting stations have been bought out by a few large corporations. The top 3 (Nexstar, Gray, Sinclair) own almost half of all US stations. Their market share lets them charge lucrative retransmission fees to the streaming providers (YTTV, Hulu Live, Direct TV, etc). These ...

I guess I need to simplify my question (for me to better comprehend). Is there currently a way or a future planned way to to allow the Flex 4k to decrypt Atsc3 DRM if approved by the AS3A? If so what will additional equipment needed and how will it work?

Hopefully the FCC will outlaw DRM, but ...

The rules for DRM when accessing a broadcast through a gateway device like an HDHomeRun are completely different than the rules for DRM when using a TV or set-top box. This makes some sense, as sending data over the network means someone could send it over the internet, and if one goal is to prevent ...

Which big corporations? Most of the big corporations involved are the big broadcasters and they want an immediate mandate for ATSC 3.0 tuners in TVs, a mandatory transition as soon as it is feasible, and the ability to DRM everything. Other big ones are the cable and satellite providers, and they ...

What possible reason would they have for dragging it out? It's in the best interests of everyone to have a clear path going forward. Hopefully one without DRM. It just takes time to get there because there are so many things that have to be decided and there was so much more involvement from people ...

If it's a plasma TV it's probably quite old. Many TVs from before 2010 and some from 2010 to about 2014 did not support decoding DD audio when coming in from the HDMI port, either only if it comes from the TV's built in tuner, or just not at all if it's old enough to predate the ATSC tuner mandate ...

It is not possible to downgrade the firmware.

The logs from your device indicate that you receive WESH from 2 different broadcasts, the primary full-power broadcast that serves Orlando and a low-power repeater that serves Ocala. At the time the channel scan was run, the Ocala one came in with ...

Our guide provider does not yet have data available for this channel. The last update we received is that they are working with the channel operator to get the correct data.

Just playing with it a bit, the debug number seems to be averaged over a longer period of time while the status.json is closer to instant, so the status one swings around more on channels encoded using variable bitrate.

We would like to get some diagnostic data to see what is happening:

In a web browser go to http://hdhomerun.local
NOTE: That address will go do the first HDHomeRun device found on your network. If you have more than one HDHomeRun device, use the "device ID" printed on the bottom of the unit ...

There isn't a way to change the player. The best option is to open http://hdhomerun.local/lineup.m3u in the player, then turn on the Playlist (View > Playlist) and just double click on the channel in that list to switch to it.

The logs from the DVR indicate that it does not have a RecordPath. The DVR has not restarted during the log window we have available so we can't see why that is. Typically it means that the hdhomerun.conf file is not present, the DVR was started without specifying the config file, or the location ...

The DVR's behavior has not changed. It requires regular but not constant internet access to make new recordings, while playing existing recordings works offline.
