odd metv bug

Post by techpro2004 »

wjlp 33.1 in ny, I believe is moving to 1080 avc according to stats in channels dvr. My hdhr however had it listed as mpeg2. I just ran a rescan and now it is not showing up at all. In hdhr config gui I get 100% signal strentgh but 0 quality. This is a channel I was watching 5 min ago in channels dvr. The hdhr app wont play it at all. I have enabled diagnostics and my ids are 10A539F7 and 10A54BD7. I have also tried rebooting my hdhr Thanks


edit: I just checked and I do not get any substations on 33 at all

odd metv is back and it shows mpeg2 720. Now that I think about it, it goes out every day this time. Are they testing a new format?

No idea on the difference in resolution/codec, but they do have 2 separate broadcast facilities, their primary at 4 Times Square and their backup at 1WTC. The primary is at a much lower elevation but much higher power compared to the backup, so if they are switching between them, you may see a difference in reception.
