Missing FOX 11.1 (WLUK) - Green Bay/Appleton Market - FLEX 4K

[theCommodore64]

Hello,

I have an HDHomeRun FLEX 4K and am missing my local FOX affiliate (WLUK-TV, Virtual 11.1) in the Green Bay/Appleton market after running a channel scan.

Device ID: 10AA2D42
Firmware: 20260326

Diagnostics have been enabled on my device.

The tuner completely skips mapping Virtual 11.1 during the automatic scan because it is checking the RF 15 ATSC 3.0 lighthouse frequency, which fails to map. However, the standard ATSC 1.0 broadcast on physical RF Channel 18 (497MHz) is coming in with a perfect signal.

As seen in my device logs below, the tuner successfully locks onto and streams the RF 18 subchannels manually (specifically ch18-3), but the automatic lineup scanner refuses to add the virtual 11.1 mapping to my guide:

Could you please apply a backend lineup override for my Device ID to map Virtual 11.1 to the standard ATSC 1.0 RF 18 stream?

Thank you!

That is not a thing.

The scan is not finding 11 because the signal is excessively amplified and overloading the input to the HDHomeRun. This distorts the signal and lowers the signal quality, and on that channel it is low enough that it isn't locking at all during the scan. If you are using a separate amplifier, remove it. If you are using an antenna with an amplifier built in, remove it if possible, or check for a switch like high/low, distant/local, or something like that, and set to the low/local option to decrease the amount of amplification. You would also likely benefit from adding a filter that blocks 5G/LTE signals in the 600MHz band such as ours (https://www.amazon.com/SiliconDust-LPF- ... B08QDWP43V).
