    Explain the 3.0 debate (likely scenarios)

    Just yesterday about this time there were severe weather warnings scrolling on TV with possible tornado developments nearby. Had 3.0 been running with DRM I never would have seen them. Thankfully no severe weather occurred here other than heavy thunderstorm activity.

    The FCC Will Allow ABC, CBS, FOX, & NBC TV Stations to Shutdown Free ATSC 1.0 & Switch to ATSC 3.0 Only

    I live in a rural area and other than my home and my son's, I can count only a handful of visible outside TV antennas on local homes. It makes me wonder of those antennas if being used, how many typical viewers are even aware of what the future brings until the day it goes dark. Not one of my...

    Weigel Broadcasting asks FCC to stop A3SA from gatekeeping ATSC 3.0

    I'm sure Weigel realizes how popular their programming is on the various networks they air. The more difficult it becomes to view, the less eyes watching. I applaud their efforts as well as Tyler the Antenna Man and Lon Seidman. Personally, I have no intention of spending a penny to update...

    New OTA movie channel!

    No audio issues from my local affiliate WYBN on 14.4. The video is 480i in 16:9 but not bad at all. A great new channel.

    AMIKO Amiko H265 rebooting

    I have an Amiko H265 receiver I purchased used from a member here many years ago that I used before moving on to the Edision Mio 4k box. Back in that time it operated as designed but when powered up it's caught in a boot loop of 125W ku looking for channels that no longer exist and restarts...

    Shopping For A New TV

    I have a small Insignia brand TV from Best Buy in my kitchen. It is an Amazon Fire smart TV but is only connected to the roof antenna. I love it. It has a great picture and sound. The electronic program guide in my market of 65 channels goes forward almost one day on the channels that have it...

    Getting into HAM in 2024?

    For the HF bands, all my antennas are homemade dipoles and a couple of end feds for multiple band experimentation using recycled wire. The baluns and ununs and quality coax cable really are only a few hundred dollars. The radios on the other hand is where the expense comes in. Lately my...

    Another Spectrum Auction?

    Should the VHF low band ever be utilized again in my area, I'm ready. My huge antenna is still in use from 20+ years ago up on the roof. Overkill for modern needs. I miss the ducting events that were more common on analog low band TV with the DX by simply changing channels. It still happens but...

    OTA Recorder

    I have a few Tivo OTA Roamio models and one active with lifetime service. Not sure how long that will be but it still works fine and it was really inexpensive used several years ago. I like the EPG going out for the 2 weeks and makes it easy to not forgot something in the future. I also have...

    WYBN-LD Cobleskill, NY reception

    After writing, I heard back from the owner and it's a technical issue on the mountain and will be back soon.

    WYBN-LD Cobleskill, NY reception

    Has anyone else lost WYBN recently in the Hudson Valley area of NY? For the last several weeks, the TV14 signal on RF26 has been 0 dB for me. Not sure if something changed. The signal was fine until one day it was gone. Reception of all other local channels remains unchanged. Just curious...
