Re: Using MAC for Storage

If it's only a couple, you can just connect the drive back to the FLEX, go to http://hdhomerun.local/, click on Recorded Files, then the show, then one of the episodes. Let it finish downloading, then repeat for the others. Best to just do one at a time. Once downloaded, move them into the ...

Re: Getting no guide data

Not seeing any issues with the listings and not seeing any errors reported in the app logs. Can you reboot the TV and check again?

Re: Phoenix 31.4 RetroTV off by 3 hours

31.4 updated to use the listing from LA, which appears to be 3 hours behind the generic Retro TV listing. Listings added for the others.

Re: Tech3-CC HTTP streaming to VLC - 404, no play

If the channels have VCT data (names and numbers) within the stream, which you would see on the Channel Lineup page, v33.1. If not (they show up in the 5000s and Unknown), and the service you want is on RF channel 33, program 1, use ch33-1.

Re: DRM off?

The primary ongoing cost is power. Phoenix's big ATSC 3.0 host KASW operates at 20.44kW of transmitter power output. A web search tells me a good digital transmitter might be 45% efficient, so figure they're burning 45.5kW of SRP's power, or 1092 kWh/day. SRP commercial power averages out to about 8 ...

Re: New FCC filing by Silicondust


The problem is ATSC holding back modern codecs on ATSC 1.0 for the purpose of selling us ATSC 3.0.
Is seems they've never heard of the OSI model.

The ATSC organization published standard A/72 in 2015 to document use of H.264/AVC in ATSC 1.0 broadcasts. The problem is that many TVs don't support ...

Re: New FCC filing by Silicondust

The problems are that MPEG2 and AC3 are horribly outdated and inefficient and 8VSB gets destroyed by multipath. ATSC 3.0 solves all of these problems. It just has other problems, some that the FCC can do something about (DRM) and some that it can't (high cost of licensing, uncertainty surrounding ...

Re: Help Troubleshooting/Solving Signal Dropouts?

Signal levels look fine. 5G signals are weaker than the strongest TV signals and shouldn't be an issue.

Are you using a flash drive for your DVR storage? If so, unplug it and see if that clears things up with live TV. Flash drives are not suitable for DVR storage.

Re: New FCC filing by Silicondust


Well done document. If only the FCC would be able to read and understand the implications laid out. I'm hoping they do!

I can guarantee you that people at the FCC read everything that gets filed and there are subject matter experts across the entire range of things they need to deal with from ...

Re: Flex 4K detected channel count went from 45 to 28

The logs show a very high noise floor across all frequencies, and the TV channels aren't showing all that much additional signal above them. Did anything change with your antenna or amplifier? I remember you had poor signal before because the antenna was in an energy-efficient window that was ...

Updated. They changed the names of the channels and that requires resetting the channel listings.

Did you get an automatic reply with a 6 digit ticket number in it (should start with a 2)? If so, what was the number?

Re: Wrong/Missing channel information

3.3, 6.3, 6.4, 8.1, 34.1, and 34.2 should now be correct. Our guide provider doesn't have anything that looks right for 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, or 34.3. For what it's worth, the licensing data from the Mexican government lists 8.2 as "TV 8.2", so it doesn't seem to have any better name. They only have one ...

Re: Support for the Cheaper, Crappier version of the Fire TV Stick Select

It's not a recompile, it would require a completely new app written from scratch. Maybe someday, but there are other priorities ahead of it.
