PBS stations not showing

Post by kspeters »

Just got the quatro setup but no PBS stations are showing up in the scan. I usually can get Iowa, SD and MN stations. What is going on?

We would like to get some diagnostic data:
  1. Please go to http://hdhomerun.local
  2. If it tells you that a firmware update is available, please install it
  3. Click System Status
  4. Check the Send diagnostic information box
  5. Go back one page
  6. Click Channel Lineup
  7. Click on Detect Channels

Reply back to this post and provide us the device ID of your HDHomeRun and we will check the logs. You can find the device ID on a label on the bottom of the HDHomeRun itself.

Where are you located and what kind of antenna are you using? The signal strength is fairly high on all channels, but the signal quality is poor on the channels that are coming in, suggesting a poor antenna and a lot of amplification.
