AVC codec being used locally OTA

[comfortably_numb]

There are 3 subchannels broadcasting on KLUZ RF-22 (Virtual 14.6, 14.7, 14.8) which use AVC. My TV can't decode it. The Roku HD Homerun app can't decode it. I can play them on PC using VLC or PotPlayer. The GTMedia X1 can play them also.

Is this common? Never seen this before.

Rabbitears shows the first 2 as MPEG4….assuming 14.8 also is

As far as I can tell, only Confess, BTS and MoviesGold are MPEG-4 AVC

Found this list:

Just needs to be updated with the MovieSphere Gold channel

That's what I said
Look at the pic posted. 14-6 & 14-7 show a green "4" as they are MPEG4. Trip didn't know 14-8 also is so he will fix that.

Also, just FYI for Trip KTFQ 41-88 Altavision is MPEG2, not MPEG4 AVC

My TV can't decode it.

My TCL Roku tv 50S535 will play Mpeg 4 AVC just fine. It can even decode Dolby AC-4 audio from my HDHR 4k Flex, from my non-DRM ATSC 3.0 channels. Only the local 3.0 NBC channel is DRM.

My brand new Insignia 24" bedroom TV from Best Buy won't play it. Neither will my 32" Vizio from 2012

That's odd, because my tv set is a 2020 model.

I take that back, the Insignia does play the MPEG4 channels when connected to the antenna, but not via the HD Homerun app.
