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

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

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

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...

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

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

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

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...

Updating thread title to reflect veto override. - Trip

First time this FCC staffer has ever heard that. - Trip

256QAM isn't encryption, it's a modulation. - Trip

:rolleyes: - Trip

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...

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

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...

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

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...

The chances of Gray losing a Fox affiliation to WBUP are effectively zero. - Trip

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

I've been watching very warily for the introduction of signing and DRM into 3.0. If it begins to appear and interferes with the ability to watch content on receivers like the HDHR-4K, the streams will be identified on RabbitEars with the standard "lock" icon used for encrypted streams. (See...

I will point out that WNGH is on low-VHF, so you should make sure your antenna supports low-VHF if you want that station. The 30-2476 is a high-VHF only antenna. You might be better off with a massive all-band antenna aimed right at Chattanooga. I would think the WNGH signal should be strong...

No, they didn't. I'm going to quote myself from another forum. "Er, it does have upgradable firmware. What it may not have is on-board hardware to do audio decoding, but that's never what the HDHR has been. It's been a tuner attachment to a network, and the display device (or computer, or...

That's exactly what a gateway is. The HDHR (and other HDHR-like devices) are exactly how the term "gateway" has been described to me by lots of different people in the industry. A gateway has one or more tuners and then passes the signal over the network to a TV set or streaming device. If...

No, it can. But the Live Bandscan requires either a call sign in the PSIP, or a TSID in the appropriate spot in the signal, to identify a signal. Ventana's stations have neither. - Trip

None of that is a call sign. - Trip
