It looks like it's trying to capture from the wrong channel. 563MHz would be channel 29 when our lighthouse is on 36. My channel scan is up to date on the Flex.

Great idea! I'll do the same.

In the Detroit area, there is only one NON DRM'd channel, 104.1. I did NOT have that channel enabled when I ran that script, so I got this message (First launch

How do I perform another scan??

I have a route that allows traffic from the VLAN I do my self-hosting on to reach stuff in my IoT LAN (which includes my HDHR) but even though Plex/Jellyfin can pick up the tuners on different VLANs, this still cannot...

EDIT: Would it be possible to make it so we can define a tuner's IP address manually, either through an update to the provided MSI or something we can add to the .config file?
I had a clanker friend named Claude help with editing the Linux script to point to a specific IP address, which now allows it to cross VLANs without issue. I'd be happy to share it with permission if the mods/admins allow.

Q: Only capturing 1 of 2 available RF channels with ATSC 3.0

Post by PhilJSmith67 »

I noticed that every capture of mine is only for the first of two ATSC 3.0 channels in my area, and that channel being found (RF 6) has only one non-encrypted subchannel. None of my subchannels are marked as blocked (X).

The two ATSC 3.0 signals in my area are...
RF 6 / 85 MHz -- WRME-LD Chicago -- subchannels...
- 106.1 JTVHD
RF 12 / 207 MHz -- WBBM-NG Chicago -- subchannels...
- 102.1 WBBM-NG (DRM encrypted)
- 105.1 WMAQ-NG (DRM encrypted)
- 109.1 WGN-NG
- 132.1 WFLD-NG (DRM encrypted)
- 166.1 WGBO-NG

Is my tuner going to provide valid test data if it's only reporting 85 MHz and ignoring the channel with encryption at 207 MHz?

I was getting the 'rerun channel scan message'.

In the channel list I had blocked the two ATSC channels that did DRM (red X bedside the channel #). Unblocking them fixed the issue - click on the List icon at the far right to remove the red X.

Thanks, found the problem... we signed the installer but forgot to sign the exe.

Please download the installer again - it should now install and run correctly.
