Re: fox issues

Signal quality on Fox is still pretty bad. Could probably use another 3dB and maybe an LTE/5G filter.

Re: DRM Channels

CableCARD: no, and not likely
ATSC 3.0: not currently possible given A3SA rules, but we have some ideas depending on what the FCC's next round of proposals contains

Re: fox issues

Yeah a lot of tropo in that part of the country today. I saw WPHL and WNJS in some of the scans too. Not even worth using those times of day as data points as WNYW is probably going to get beat up on by WPSJ-CD or even WMAR. Running at only 92.8kW puts WNYW at a huge disadvantage when the tropo gets ...

Re: fox issues

Better than it was but still probably a little high. Is there an on/off switch on the inserter? Can you try with it off and without the attenuators in place?

CableCARD DRM has never worked on macOS and will never work on macOS.

Re: Two channels, same station.

There's a pretty significant difference in signal quality between the two, with the main transmitter at 92% vs. the repeater at 75%. There isn't currently a way to force the HDHomeRun to use the lower-quality channel. I will bring it up (again) at our next engineering meeting.

Re: Two channels, same station.

When two channels with the same number are encountered in the channel scan, the HDHomeRun will first prefer the one with the greater vertical resolution (1080 > 720 > 480), and if they are the same will keep the one with the higher signal quality. We can check the logs to see what your HDHomeRun is ...

Re: Fox’s World Cup Coverage


I had it record the Belgium vs. Egypt game today. I’m guessing it was a guide issue, but it only recorded the first half and halftime. Wasn’t expecting that. Looking back, it seems the guide thinks the game was 3-5pm. So not sure why I didn’t get fge second half.

Looks like there may have been ...

Re: VLC Media player

You need to use http rather than https and you need a / between auto and v.
http://192.168.1.123:5004/auto/v720
Transcode will only do something if you are using an HDHomeRun EXTEND.

Re: Recordings not occurring - event download failed in logs

I don't have any way to test this since I don't have any Linux devices on wifi, but my guess is that IP is still bound to the wifi interface even though it's in the down state and that is confusing things when it tries to send the broadcast. Some Linux-based NASes have a similar problem if you ...

Re: Recotding Live Sports (NBA & NHL) issue.

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 ...

Re: HD Homerun 4k Flex - lost one channel that previously worked fine

OK, definitely a suitable antenna, wouldn't expect problems from that unless something damaged it. If you tune to WOIO and go to the HDHomeRun's web page at http://hdhomerun.local/ and click on Tuner Status, then whichever tuner it's using for that, what signal numbers do you see there? Wondering if ...

Re: HD Homerun 4k Flex - lost one channel that previously worked fine

What antenna is it? WJW is almost always the most difficult of the major stations to receive in Cleveland being VHF and operating at a very low power level compared to most major network stations on VHF (WJW is only 11kW vs. WOIO's 30, or WTVG and WTOL over in Toledo both being over 20).
