Unable to tune to unencrypted ATSC 3.0 channels

Post by trevoragifford »

I am using a HDHomeRun Flex 4k with a Philips rabbit ears antenna in the Denver market. Channel scan picks up 4 ATSC 3.0 channels which I believe are all broadcast from the same tower. 2 of the 4 I know are encrypted, however the other 2 I am still unable to watch. I'm seeing a signal strength around 60 and signal quality between 98-100, however symbol error quality is always 0.

Code: Select all

e:\Programs\HDHomeRun>hdhomerun_config.exe 10AB5FF5 get /tuner0/status
ch=atsc3:593000000:0 lock=atsc3 ss=60 snq=98 seq=0 bps=0 pps=0
Based on my experience with other channels, it seems like the signal strength and quality would be enough to play this channel. Am I missing something?
