    Recommendation for very strong UHF signal

    You should click the link I provided. It's a link to an actual tuner nearby showing the RF channel. - Trip

    Recommendation for very strong UHF signal

    I'm correct about both. Both KHQA and WGEM are still on their VHF channels. https://m.rabbitears.info/index.php?request=tvdx_grid&tid=101B94C9&tno=0 - Trip

    Recommendation for very strong UHF signal

    Both have permission from the FCC to move to UHF channels, but at this moment, both are still on their VHF channels, same as the analogs were. - Trip

    About the future Weigel Broadcasting station in Green Bay, Wisconsin...

    There is no evidence to support the statement that tower and equipment was purchased or that it will be moved. Weigel bought a construction permit for the vacant allotment at an FCC auction of vacant allotments. Further, while Weigel has requested the move to Shawano, Weigel has provided only...

    Kudo's to Silicone Dust

    Yeah, one thing I've always loved about SiliconDust is their support. One of my HDHRs is dead and outside of warranty and if I can ever actually go collect it (it's remote) they're going to replace it for me. - Trip

    ATSC 3.0 DRM Encryption

    You're in luck. There's a new standard that fixes that problem. It's called ATSC 3.0. - Trip

    ATSC 3.0 DRM Encryption

    This... isn't true? At all? The transition is voluntary at this point. Any station that has converted has volunteered to do so. - Trip

    Say goodbye to OETA pbs. (Never mind! Funding restored.)

    Some individual PBS stations get extensive government funding, while some do not. The statements you hear are almost always about PBS or NPR as a networks, not individual stations. And it's important to listen for that term "federal funding," as we're talking here about state funding. Here's...

    KMBC-TV, Kansas City, MO, now carrying Charge on Ch. 9.4.

    Kansas City, MO, ATSC 3.0 TV stations now using QAM256 encryption

    These TV Stations Sold Out Antenna Viewers in $20 Billion FCC Repack

    I can name several. "Nexstar sold KRON." Incorrect. Nexstar did not own KRON at the time of the auction, Media-General did. In fact, Nexstar did not sell any stations in the auction, making his later statement in the video about Nexstar being one of the biggest sellers incorrect as well...

    These TV Stations Sold Out Antenna Viewers in $20 Billion FCC Repack

    This video, unfortunately, has a number of pretty significant factual errors in it. I've flagged them to Tyler; hopefully he'll revise or issue a correction. - Trip

    Is ATSC 3.0 sputtering or out of gas?

    I'll quote my own post on another forum this morning. "I mean, it's a voluntary transition, per their own request, so if it is in "peril," then it implies nobody volunteered. Doesn't help that there are still, seven years later (by their count), almost no receivers, and they're in the middle of...

    WSHM-LD (Springfield, MA) Did they change broadcast locations?

    It did. They filed a license to cover for Mount Tom. - Trip

    Repack woes

    For all the folks complaining about the RabbitEars predictions, the software powering it is the same software the FCC uses for coverage predictions, and is an implementation of the Longley-Rice model. Pretty much all TV predictions are done with Longley-Rice, which is known to under-predict...

    Repack woes

    The repack did not touch WBRE. That you lost it as well implies something else is going on. - Trip

    What antenna? RI

    Warning: Do not use TVFool. Its database has not been updated in more than four years, and it is now riddled with errors and omissions. The RabbitEars Signal Search Map, as originally posted, is the correct tool to use. You're going to need something big with support for low-VHF, and even...

    Next Gen is here! (Greenville, SC)

    Title edited for clarity. WYCW no longer has its own spectrum and shares on WSPA, so it never could have been the host. The host, per FCC filings, is WMYA. Its programming has been redistributed to WYFF, WSPA, and WHNS. - Trip

    Greetings from Dish Team Summit Day Two!

    If you get any offers to let Satellite Guys members help test the wireless network, I visit Richmond pretty frequently even though I don't live there. Glad to be involved, just not willing to spend $900 plus $30 monthly to do it. - Trip

    Dish Network 5G Internet?

    Assuming they'll sell me service at all given I frequently visit, but do not live in, some of their launch cities, I'm waiting for a cheaper device. The Moto G 5G 2022 and the Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 both support n70, and thus should theoretically work on the Dish network. Both would be about...

    Dish Network 5G Internet?

    In places where deployment is close at hand and building permits are publicly available, it's perfectly possible to make a map showing where Dish Wireless will be. For example, I made this map for myself of Chesterfield County, VA. View: https://imgur.com/a/9AklBXz I've only been by the...
