Experimental: Local Networks (NBC, ABC, FOX) in some major metros via TVE

Just curious. Which county in CT are you in, Fairfield, New Haven, Litchfield or Hartford? If you are not in Fairfield county, I'd be surprised you could get both the ABC networks from New York and New Haven thru TVE.

You guessed it, I'm in Fairfield county. :wink:

According to the FCC, my DMA is NYC so all my locals are from there and I've never been able to get the CT locals on DirecTV. So I'm surprised to get the CT ABC now in TVE.
Not complaining. :smiley:

Anybody get Fox on spectrum?

You would get both on TVE if you authenticate through a cable provider that gives you both. Many in Fairfield County do.

@mjitkop i share your hate on the DMA stuff. Monrovian here, so i feel your pain.

i can't like this enough - thanks!!!!

So cool, I never had a TVE ABC in Providence, RI market, but now I have one from the Boston, MA market (our signals overlap, so I was always mad as Locast for stopping the Boston feed at the border, especially since we're closer to many of the towers).

@tmm1, Aman, I am seeing this same issue that mike_here had with CBS now in Raleigh, WNCN running version 2021.09.10.0554. Not sure exactly when it started but everything was ok as of yesterday afternoon.

trying to remedy locast shutdown, I enabled locals for TVE today, with youtube tv. for ABC it pulled in a sub channel instead of the main channel. I'm able to login with youtube creds to watch at ABC.

ABC is crucial as WPVI can't be picked up with my antenna. :frowning:

I added locals after upgrading to 2021.09.10.1459

Do I need to re-scan the channels? They are still mapped to the wrong station.

Try Settings > Guide Database > Maintenance > Delete and Recreate Database, followed by a restart of the server.

Yeah, did that. Still have the wrong mapping on both NBC and CBS via TVE.

I need diagnostics then, its not working as designed. It should have picked up the new Station values automatically

Done. 5d7d3c4a-8462-46ad-988c-cc81dcc80b3b

Sent diagnostics again after install of build 2021.09.10.1721.

updated to 2021.09.10.1721 turned off local tve and re-enabled and now it's working.

CBS here in Raleigh WNCN is still showing as WNCNNFL even w/ 1721.
