Re: The HDFX-4K, a different perspective and why it is a good purchase..
Your DMA has a lot of translators that are cluttering the results on the Channel Master maps, try using the RabbitEars search instead. Make sure you search for your specific location, as zip code only searches usually resolve to either the center of the zip code or the location of the post office, a...

Re: HDHomeRun App on Roku vs Firestick
The HDHomeRun supports a lot more than just network connected media players. Roku's market share for phones, tablets, game consoles, laptops and desktops is 0%. Most of those other platforms along with AndroidTV/FireTV can use the common UI, while Roku requires them to have a seperately coded UI. Th...

Re: Encryption
Recently, KPTV enabled DRM and they offer no alternative. KPTV's main ATSC 1.0 signal is still on VHF 12 , where they have been since the 2009 DTV transition. Like many other VHF stations across the country did once the repack filing freeze was lifted, they petitioned for and were granted a constru...

Re: HDHomeRun App on Roku vs Firestick
I'm not sure I agree with your statement of firesticks over roku. Maybe if your comparing hdmi sticks but, I own three roku ultras with specs that destroy the latest firestick. It doesn't matter how good the specs are, Roku puts so many restrictions on what developers can do. So nearly every functi...

Re: Super Bowl in 4K HDR
Just a heads up, Verizon FiOS will have the Super Bowl 4K HDR telecast on channel 1495. Verizon FiOS customers might need to do a rescan on their HDHomeRun Primes to see it as it was only recently added to the lineup. For the SiliconDust staff, if the Gracenote data didn't already auto match it, you...

Re: Chicago Finally, sadly DRM
It turns out channels were shuffled around. WBBM and WGN happen to be on the same frequency (19) now. ATSC 1.0 and ATSC 3.0 can't co-exist on the same frequency. In order to convert WBBM's RF 12 signal to ATSC 3.0, all the 2.x channels had to find new homes: 2.1 CBS HD is now on WGN's RF 19 signal ...

Re: Chicago Finally, sadly DRM
There's a lot of atmospheric boost in the midwest this week because of the current weather pattern.

Re: Encryption
can you imagine how many people would buy a Siliconroid? Not many as any feature on it is also going to be available with a $20 Onn from WalMart or any other AndroidTV based device. Most people will want an AndroidTV device that does more than just the HDHomeRun app, and in order to do that not onl...

The frequency specs for that antenna (170-860 MHz) don't include VHF-lo (54-88 MHz) which is needed for reliable reception of WDPN/2 (MeTV HD/CourtTV/Mystery/H&I/Retro/Catchy/Story/Pocono Television/Newsmax2), WACP/4 (TCT/Family/ACE/Religious) and WPVI/6 (ABC*/Localish/ThisTV along with 57.4 Nos...

Re: Flex4k help
I’m very new to this. I have no idea that 80% means a low signal. 80% is just the raw signal strength, the second value signal quality, aka the signal-to-noise ratio, is what matters more, especially when it comes to RF numbers that have co-channel interference. Since you're in an area where you ca...

WPXN is likely interfering with WPPX in your location anytime atmospheric boost conditions are favoring NYC Long story short, during the analog era WPPX transmitted closer to NJ/Delaware border, but during the 2009 DTV transition they agreed to accept interference from WPXN NYC and WSWB Scranton in...

Re: Encryption
CableLABS has different requirements than A3SA. Nickk or one of the others explained a while back, it had something to do with FireTV not using Google Play so it can't be Play Protect certified.
