ATSC 3.0: Dallas - 2020

[rayik]

In Dallas Fort Worth area. Two issues. Apologize if correct terms not used.
On Firmware 20201015

1) ATSC 3.0 channel not showing up on scan. Fox broadcasts ATSC 3. Fox HD channel is 4.1 is found on scan. However, the ATSC 3 channel is not found on scan. Using HDHomeRun-Config-GUI can manually tune to channel:



2) ABC broadcasts in HD on channel 8.1. Channels 8.1 - 8.4 do not show up on scan. Can manually tune to them using HDHomeRun-Config-GUI:

Not that it would answer your problem with it showing up on scan but it looks like you have an old config_gui as if it is atsc3, you should see plp information

Dallas here. Prior to Wednesday, there were four program entries on KSTR RF34 (FOX, Univision, Unimas, and whatever "UNM 2" is). Yesterday, their transmitter was offline. Today, the transmitter is back online, but not seeing any programs listed.

A few weeks ago, KSTR submitted a notice to the FCC that they were having issues with their ATSC3 encoding hardware, so this could be them still working on getting their hardware fixed/replaced.

8.1-8.4 are VHF channels, the only ones in Dallas. So depending on what you are scanning with, it might not check VHF - WMC does not pull VHF after the switch to EPG 123, and you have to add them manually.

Where does one find the new version with the plp ?
All I can only see/download is the hdhomerun_tech_windows_20200225.

fwiw- I also no longer see the 4 programs under Ch34 in DFW. (4.1,23.1,49.1,49.2).

ATSC3 GUI beta is in this topic: viewtopic.php?f=133&t=74266

Thanks for pointing that out and making me read more carefully.
For past 3 days I've been looking for something thats already installed.

I think I may be seeing the same issue with the latest firmware here in Denver CO. We have a lone ATSC3 channel on RF2. I was able to scan it into my channel lineup with firmware 20201008 but lost it after rescanning with the latest firmware.

My theory is the issue is because they are not using an expected ATSC3 codec and the new firmware now doesn't want to recognize it. It's a loop for Dish Network. The signal is right on the margin and unwatchable but I liked being able to see the channel in my lineup.

UPDATE: I normally use mac but just installed the beta Windows software on a PC and was able to see the PLP for rf ch2 but no lock. I must have just been lucky during that first scan. I'll keep testing to see if my signal gets any better once the leaves are off and the windy weather here settles down.

Also in Dallas and not finding any HEVC channels on scan.

It would be interesting to get a dbg capture of this channel...

1) Upgrade to the latest 20201017 firmware.

2) Use a web browser to save http://1080AD68.local:5004/auto/ch34?fo ... uration=30
Save the file as 20201017-1080AD68-dallas.dbg

3) Upload to a file service and PM me the download link.

Updated to 20201017. Tried navigating to the link and it gave a 503 error page. It does the same with changing 1080AD68 to my DeviceID

Edit:
From the system log after entering that:

Code: Select all

20201017-17:35:47 Tuner: tuner0 tuning auto:593MHz
20201017-17:35:52 HTTP: rejecting request from 192.168.1.30 - no video data
20201017-17:35:52 Tuner: tuner0 http stream ended (requested time reached)

However, the system log has similar error when navigating to channels that should exist eg ch11 gives the same error just 201MHz instead of 593MHz

Dev unit, same result here.

Tried manually tuning in to the channel. I think it tunes in to the channel but is not picking up any information?

Code: Select all

(base) rgrasmus@My-MBP ~ % hdhomerun_config 108034CA set /tuner0/channel auto:34
(base) rgrasmus@My-MBP ~ % hdhomerun_config 108034CA get /tuner0/status

(base) rgrasmus@My-MBP ~ % hdhomerun_config 108034CA get /tuner0/debug

[nickk]

Can you please also check:
hdhomerun_config 108034CA get /tuner0/plpinfo
