Flex 4k
Just did this firmware update hoping it would help with the intermittent 503 errors and slow launches on ATSC3 channels but on the scan after it can't find them now. It also lost some ATSC1 channels too.
If there is no way to roll back can we get a beta release to upgrade to until this is resolved please?

It's really hard to rule out a coincidence without the ability to roll back the firmware.
"Could the ATSC3 lighthouse be down? It has gone down twice that I know of before. But wait, I normally see ATSC3 channels from 3 markets and now I see none. Gotta be firmware then... Oh wait, could my market's tower be offline and I'm not seeing the other markets because the wind is super high today and they were already marginal before? Wait, could my booster have died? Let me see if the ATSC1 channels look normal. Oh great, some are normal and one lower than usual. Is that the wind? A firmware change in SS feedback?"
It would be so nice to A/B test with the old firmware. If I had no issues on old firmware I wouldn't be tempted to go start diagnosing more deeply.
I really don't know where to go from here, based on other users seeing it too I will resist the urge to poke around my setup. Everything has been perfect other than the occasional 503 errors on atsc3 launches. Could be that my booster died or my Flex 4k ATSC3 tuners died between yesterday and today and I just happened to decide to update today?
I will be happy to get you data from WXII in the emergency test if my setup is able to get atsc3 again by then. It is a Hearst station in northern NC and it went to DRM very early on.
