Can no longer tune ATSC3 when off LAN

Here is an example when it takes too long to tune maybe developers can look to extend the time ....

Yep yours is failing as well. I have a feeling most people are failing as well but don’t notice

Right it seems seamless when it switches to ATSC 1.0.

Remote failure is a result of the 8sec time out. On home network it’s a channels app issue 19sec to tune vs 5sec in hdhr app. The dvr has no problem tuning quickly.

@troyhough do you have the Model: HDHR5-4K ?

Wonder if any of the newer hdhr4k have this issue. Mine is a kickstarter unit

Yes that is my unit. 1 is a Kickstarter. The other I added later, both same model number.

#27

Anyone with a HDFX-4K care to test all their atsc3 channels?

This new one is weird. Now it doesn’t say it times out but it does switch’s to atsc1

Updated to latest beta. Tried 3 times off the LAN and failed 3 times. It ended up tuning the ATSC1 channel instead.

#33

@troyhough Please make 60s recordings from your ATSC3 stations and email to [email protected]

#34

have you tried not transcoding?

I do not Transcode.

#37

Are you watching off the LAN? Are you 100% sure it's not falling back to the ATSC1 equivalent? How long does it take to tune in the ATSC3 channels on average when not on LAN?

#38

Just recorded 60 sec of my 4 diff ATSC3 channels. Zipped and emailed you the link to download from Google Drive.

#39

Ran a test on the LAN using the HDHR and Channels DVR apps on my onn 4K Streaming box to compare tuning times. Tried 10 times using each app.

On average the HDHR app tunes in the ATSC3 stations in about 4 seconds.

Here are the times it took using the Channels DVR app (in seconds)

23s
13s
21s - Failed defaulted to the ATSC1 channel
22s
14s
13s
20s
12s
21s

There seems to be a big issue here with Channels DVR being able to tune in the channels where as the HDHR app tunes them consistently quickly. If this gets figured out, it may also fix the problem with being able to tune them in when watching remotely (not on the LAN).

FWIW there is no audio delay when I view. When the picture comes up, the audio also plays.

Submit diagnostics from the app after slow tune. Are you using Direct or Stream mode?
