First and foremost not an Channels issue. But here and Emby is where I go to for an informed community on things like this...
I'm on the 14th floor in NYC and normally I can detach the actual antenna wire winding at the top of my two antennas (at two different physical locations too) and I'll still get 100% signal strength (I have done it) of all local NYC transmitted stations WNBC included, channels, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4; could probably put the connector base in a metal mesh box and still get 100% signal strength.
But I no longer get those channels for a good number of days now. After numerous rescans of channels by HDHomeRun setup tool and fiddling with the antenna positions even tho I knew that was needless. I do still get the ATSC 3.0 channel WNBC-HD ch 104.1 at 100% strength, but due to DRM it only tunes for a second then goes away so I cannot watch it. Also, WNBC has no presence in the coverage list anymore; see the image below.
I've exhausted every Google search term I can think of and I haven't found any information/news about whether this is planned maintenance or outage -- thus they will eventually return -- or like NBC channels over TVE these OTA DTV channels are gone for good too and only available thru apps / Peacock or some other means.
Have any of you read or know anything about this and know what's going on with WNBC OTA DTV broadcasting? Thanx for all informed replies.
p.s. the one NBC entry you do see is located in Maryland or Delaware, and too far away to get anyway.
