I have a recording flagged as being Interrupted (TMZ Live 10/10/23 2330-0030), and the duration is marked as 1 min (suggesting 59 minutes were missed). I watched the recording and I am not noticing any interruptions. Another few (Off the Clock 10/10/23 1400-1500, KTLA 5 Morning News at 4 10/11/23 0400-0430 and KTLA 5 Morning News at 4:30 10/11/23 0430-0500) say Interrupted although the duration accurately says 30-60 minutes (and again the file plays fine). So far I'm only noticing this on these two ATSC 3.0 channels. Is this just another ATSC3 issue (e.g., computer doesn't have the processing power to handle ATSC3 to avoid these "false" interruptions)? Anything I can do to prevent these aside from forcing using the ATSC1 feed for recording? Log files from around the time of the recording (2023/10/10 14:00:00.011397 [DVR] Starting job 1696971600-46 Off The Clock on ch= - Pastebin.com) and Diagnostic Logs have been submitted as de0d45b4-4d29-47bd-8735-31a83961e261
The signal is not reliable. Maybe they are still making changes at the tower.

KTLA ATSC3 has been dodgy lately, it was without any audio for a few days within the last couple of days.
Yes we were discussing that in another thread. I also reached out to the KTLA engineer now that I have contact information from that issue. He responded with a question about what I'm using for my DVR which I answered but nothing further. Recordings after 0700 have not been "interrupted" today so maybe he was able to fix something (I emailed him at 0656 not sure if coincidental since he didn't email back). Still waiting for a recording on 111.1 today to see how it goes. I just noticed 113.1 also "interrupted" last night at 2330 (just sent an email to Fox Engineering just in case)
EDIT:
Here's the response from Fox Engineering, for what it's worth. Not sure why they brought up the encryption of KNBC and KCBS, but good to know. "Based on the logs it appears he's using an HDHomeRun. HDHomeRun doesn't support encryption, which is turned on with KNBC and KCBS. For the rest of the channels we use a pair of HDHomeRuns for monitoring and we're not seeing the same thing. We're also not seeing this issue with our OTA monitoring on a normal TV set. The ATSC 3.0 signals are 1080p, which requires a lot more bandwidth and storage capability to record. I'm guessing this might be the issue. If the computer/hard drive/network aren't fast that might be the issue."
EDIT2:
Wow the KTLA Engineer just replied and said KTTV broadcasts their ATSC3 signal for them, so I let him know I am having the same issue with all 3.
