DVB-T2 on HDHomeRun FLEX 4K

Post by drmpeg »

Is it possible to enable DVB-T and DVB-T2 on the HDHomeRun FLEX 4K? It looks like the Sony demod chip is capable.

I guess nobody in the US cares about this except for ham radio operators and experimenters like myself. Maybe just on the developer version?

IIRC, we looked into seeing if it was possible for customers to do this remotely, but engineering came to the conclusion that it wasn't practical.

Ham Radio T/T2 isn't currently possible using the Sony demod. The narrow-band T/T2 support we released for the HDHR5-2DT/4DT which uses the Altobeam demod.

For normal 6/7/8 MHz T/T2 the easiest is to get you a HDFX-4DT.
If you want to work with narrower Ham Radio T/T2 we can get you a HDHR5-2DT/4DT

Thanks for the replies. It's really just a convenience factor for me. The FLEX 4K is my primary test receiver, so it would have been nice if it did DVB-T2. I have a Hauppauge PCTV 292e (Si2168 demod) that I use for DVB-T2.
