60 fps recordings

Hi, I recorded an NFL game on Thursday that was broadcast at 1080p60. But the recording is only 1080p30. I didn’t see a setting that would let me bump that.

I have an HDHomeRun Connect, and the specs on my recording machine is

i5 6600k
16GB RAM
512GB SSD
4TB HDD.

The recordings are raw video feeds from the tuner. Where do you see it showing up as 30fps?

When I inspect the video info with VLC it says 30fps. And when I bring it into Adobe Premiere. It also says 30fps. It also appears to be 30fps to my eyes.

It was a sports event, and it looked like it was 60fps when it was live.

OTA channels in the US are either 720p or 1080i. 1080i is technically 30fps, but has two interlaced fields per frame. You need a deinterlacer to convert it to 60fps. VLC lets you do this by selecting the Linear or Yadif deinterlacer. I don’t know if Adobe Premiere can deinterlace.

I was using the Blend deinterlacer setting in the Channels DVR settings, so I should probably use Linear from now on?

The setting is for playback only, not recording. The one in the DVR settings controls web player playback, and there is a similar setting in both the iOS and tvOS apps.

As stated earlier, the recorded files are raw streams from the tuner and not modified in any way.
