Brian's Q is important: Are there actually tones on an audio PID, or does it rely on the receiver to handle DPI triggers and then generate tones based on those.

I can confirm that I have a bunch of 211k that run 24/7 without requiring a visit. I'd swap, return the z and recoup the modulator.

I did a study of OTA vs a local cable provider on Fox stations for the game. Was interesting to see that some had higher bitrate OTA (squashed by cableco) vs higher bit off cable (presumed beefier fiber feed than afforded to OTA transmitter)

sucks when the lights go out:

... just lost KFWD in Dallas this am. MundoMAX -> SonLife. I see rabbitears is already updated. :)

No, unfortunately if WVLA33 (RF34) moves to low-VHF, that constitutes a large frequency shift and there really isn't a way for you to tell right now. You could maybe guess, based on how well you recv WAFB... but it's still really just a guess.

Ya, that's Roxborough. Almost all the towers are there. They aren't moving I'm pretty sure.

Quintech makes some, but they're rack mount and pricey

You'd most likely have to upgrade your receiver for any coming coding/modulation enhancements regardless of ATSC3. If the ATSC3 stations use HEVC, etc... they have to get the fronthauls to the stations somehow and most likely using the newer formats which your current receiver doesn't understand...

What's weird is that two other major parents are moving their feeds over to AMC-11 by July/Aug. I wonder what Comcast's beef is with the "reliability of AMC-11"

Thanks! OP: Yes, got it. [EDIT: nvm, different email and satellite ;) ]

Apparently, they like Supergirl https://www.cbscorporation.com/2016/05/the-cw-network-and-fox-television-stations-announce-new-affiliation-agreement-for-wpwr-tv-in-chicago/

No, you're right; they won't care about that stuff. By enhancements, I meant HDR, 4k, mobile/SFN improvements or the accessory enhancements (second-screen, etc). And it will not be all at once or in that order. Which one will be the "killer app" You make a good point about what will force them...

Might be better to use the lighthouse to guide users to 3.0.... Use the efficiencies of 3.0 for the enhanced .1 channels of the stations that share nice together (possibly). You won't be able to share much mpeg2 crap on single frequency using 1.0

Once it hits your gateway or TV it will probably know somewhat about you. The intelligence in the signal will then decide based on your Big Data. Meh, you can run but you can't hide. If it's not this, it will be bannering, in-show promos, or whatever it takes to make you watch.

Time to keep your CableCARD for 7 more years! (Page 123) thehill.com/policy/technology/279420-fcc-order-offers-merger-details-on-charter-time-warner-cable-deal

In the past two years, they've become one of our go-to faves for several commercial applications. I'd second that recommendation.

Probably not ,much difference. 5 yrs isn't that old in the scheme of 8VSB tuners. Maybe on the cusp of some multipath enhancements but you'll likely improve reception by focusing on other things. Also, linux support on the Hauppauge products has improved tremendously, if you haven't looked...

I upgraded from Geese to Hawk. I'll report back with findings. There will be blood. =)

Those expensive RoofRakes make even a 5m dish a piece o cake. (relative to any other manual way of clearing) Not too hard to homebrew, but make sure the wife doesn't treat the dish like a piñata... Agree with Cat though: need to make something contoured
