Trip, have you tuned PLP0 via the CLI and set the target to forward and watched either the network rate in Config GUI or monitored via Wireshark to see if there's anything actually on there?

hdhomerun_config xxxxxxxx set /tuner0/channel atsc3:25:0
hdhomerun_config xxxxxxxx set /tuner0/target ...

Thanks for the feedback!

I added some PLP info for the ATSC 3.0 channels and maybe fixed the issue with no info being displayed. I was not able to consistently reproduce that one as described. Maybe it was due to longer signal lock times or something, so it should be more robust from that ...

I have Android devices that work in the Android ecosystem, so I have been missing the HDHomeRun Signal app. I vibe coded the following to fill the gap. Run it in docker somewhere on your network and then you can tune from anywhere.

The "Signal Quality" meter on hdhomerun_config_gui does bounce between 0 and 100% (mostly at 0%), but the stream is still working.


So in my closet I have an HDHR Connect 4K, and just yesterday I got an HDHR Flex 4K. Both are running the newest Dev firmware, both are unable to lock plp16 for ...

So I got an answer back from someone involved in WNUV:

"CTI can be used in multi-PLP TDM operations as long as any given CDP only utilizes a single core PLP. In this case, we have a CDP, BPS, that utilizes just PLP 16, another set of CDPs for the mobile/BEST services which utilize just PLP0 (core ...

This is just a guess, but I think some of these PLP 16 configurations are out of spec. Specifically, when there are two PLPs in a subframe using the CTI interleaver.

If you look at section 7.1.1 of A/322, it talks about what interleavers can be used. Unless you're using LDM, if there are multiple ...

For folks with no local 3.0 signals, or who want to test out the Dev-level functions, or who want to see a signal with BPS in it, I've added a folder of test data from three of my four local 3.0 signals that can be downloaded and run through it.

All,

I'm very pleased to announce a public release of RENDER, the RabbitEars NextGen Data Evaluator and Reporter. Most of the relevant information can be found here:

I've written the software for the Linux command line, but it's open source (GPLv3) and should ...

Version 0.8.6: https://www.rabbitears.info/dl/hdhomeru ... _0.8.6.zip

The PCAP capture function for Dev models now captures ALP-PCAP instead of IPv4-PCAP.

Looks great!

Nick,

I'm having a minor issue with a local 3.0 signal. I have two signals near me running 3.0 with an extremely robust BPS PLP (PLP16) and they behave very differently.

16: sfi=0 mod=qpsk cod=2/15 layer=core ti=cti lls=0 lock=1
-> Required SNR: AWGN -6.23 to -5.55 dB, Rayleigh -5.72 to -5.06 dB ...

The latest 0.8.5 zip file includes the libhdhomerun source code. Just wondering if that was intentional. Might overwrite something unintentionally when unzipping.

Otherwise it compiles, looks, and runs fine on Debian 11 with a flex4k. It "just works" so nothing else really to comment on ...

All,

I've been working on a tool for analysis of 3.0 signals akin to the TSReader software, and I'm trying to test it against as many existing 3.0 signals as I can. It's currently written with the HDHR in mind as the primary type of receiver. I'm looking for people who might be able to help me get ...

Had to fix another regression that prevented the l1detail from being parsed.

Rapid new update.

https://www.rabbitears.info/dl/hdhomeru ... _0.8.4.zip

Added the HDHR firmware version number to the ATSC 3.0 details screen. No other changes.
