ATSC 3.0: Dallas - Jan 2021

[rmoran]

It looks like the firmware was released today to fix ASC3 problems. I don't see how to download it...can anyone assist? I see a red X on my.hdhomerun.com screen:
Version 20201030
108 Channels

I click on it and it sends me to my "System Status" page and it says:
Firmware Upgrade
Up to date

wait up to 8 hours or reboot the tuner so it reaches out to SD and pulls in that a new firmware is available. Or download and install the new windows software package (full software package not just app) and it will install the latest firmware when you run it's setup.

Thanks you, Windows software package wormed. Channel 4.1 (FOX) in DFW works now. It’s not 4.1, only 720p though?

4.1 is the regular ATSC broadcast. The ATSC 3 broadcasts now have 100 added to the channel number (e.g. 104.1 instead of 4.1).

Not 3.0, but is Dallas market related.

13.3 KERA Create still freezes about every 90 seconds, blanks out, and restarts. 13.1 does it to a lesser extent. This does NOT seem to happen on the Chromecast with Google TV.

5.1 KXAS Has macroblock lines on fast edits and flashy scenes. No other channel does this no matter how quick and flashy. Someone mentioned this is an Nvidia defect on channel 5.1? The Shield doesn't know what channel it is, it's just a video stream it's being fed.

Something about the way KXAS encodes the video on 5.1 isn't handled properly by NVIDIA's MPEG2 decoder (it also happens on most PC video cards using NVIDIA GPUs). 8.1 used to have the same problem but it went away when the station switched from 1080i to 720p.
