Not that I could find

Try going to VA channels on 105 W* Ku bird, they have 24/7 Closed Captions. To see if they work by hitting subtitles button?

FWIW, the GT Media V9 Prime can display subtitles on, for example, Positiv TV and Merit Street tps on 123W C-band when I checked.

 

[N5XZS]

Yes, I have GT Media V9 and works fine on CC.

But I need to know the GT Media combo will works on CC system or not.

I don't have access to 105 KU or 123 C-band, any other channels I can test?

Cn, try tuning in at 101 W* for closed captions on Jewelry TV Freq, 4.140 GHz, H.

Or try Weigel's feeds if is still in FTA mode on freq, 4.180 GHz, H also on 101 W*.

Got the information from Lyngsat.com.

Hope it's help!!

Have you tried your V9 on that, or is that not hooked up now?

The V9 is currently KU only at the moment, 87 99 and 101

The V9 does CC on PBS on 99. I'm thinking the GTX isn't currently capable of CC.

I remember way back in 2012 when Brian brought out the MicroHD receiver. It being capable of showing CC on satellite channels was a REAL BIG deal! There were posts from him explaining that it's not an easy thing to pull off.

Maybe things have changed in all the years since, so it's easier to include as a feature on receivers. I don't know.

P.S. If you stream the channel to your pc and watch through Potplayer, that can decode CC, even IF the receiver can't

I'm guessing ATSC is 1.0 and not 3.0? Also what did you change from your initial scan to receive UHF channels?

Correct, 1.0 only.

For UHF I had to add the frequencies manually; it only auto-scans VHF for some reason.

I'd report that to the company, and see if they can fix it.

Same goes for Closed captions system as well too.

Now streaming from the GTX to PC the NBC Sunday Night Football HDR feed on 97 C-band, 4168 V 17142 (FTA). Feed is HEVC DVB S2 16APSK. Few to no breakups on the video.

 

[mr3p]

Is the GTX able to playback the NBC game feed directly without the PC?

 

[comfortably_numb]

Is the GTX able to playback the NBC game feed directly without the PC?

Yes, but it's choppy.

 

[mr3p]

Does the PC on the network see the m3u stream by itself or how do you view the feed on the PC from the GTX?
