https://www.tomsguide.com/reference/atsc-30-explained Right now Brad says:In order to put ATSC 3/Nextgen on the air here, channels 20 and 39 had to basically go off the air with their ATSC 1 signals. 39.1 (The CW) is actually being broadcast in ATSC 1 by KPRC 2 and 20 is on their sister station KRIV’s transmitter now. KIAH 39 is now carrying 2, 8, 11, 39 & 47 in ATSC 3 KTXH 20 is carrying 13, 20, 26, 45, & 67 in ATSC 3.

Here is the encoding and monitoring setup at KPRC for ATSC 3. The video flow routers are two redundant bi-directional links between KPRC & KIAH over two different isps. Below is the ATSC 3 monitoring gear. In the yellow bag is a portable ATSC 3 field monitor. The Dell pc at the bottom is for control of the Sencore and Trivini systems. The Harmonic encoders are the final destination before ATSC 1 programming leaves the building. The Selinio is the old encoder. The CW programming from KIAH is inserted here via an ip Ethernet connection to the video flow routers pictured. There is an ASI video link over both Microwave and leased fiber circuit to the transmitter site. Comcast, YouTube Tv, and AT&T also have fiber connections and use over the air as a backup. Everyone else (i.e. Dish, Entouch, Suddenlink, etc.) pick up only via over the air.

Our facility is mostly SDI (serial digital- coax) based but more of it is moving to fully IP based processing-distribution. Our local 20 and 26 signals hit the encoder as SDI but it is all IP after that, right up to the transmitter input. 13, 45 and 48 (the other stations on the 3.0 transmitter) arrive as IP and are fed to the encoder that way.

We have discovered at least with UHF stations that amplifies antennas often times cause a lot more problems than they solve, unless you are 30+ miles out from the transmitter. If you are here in the SW area, try non-amplified first. KHOU is on KIAH’s RF-34 signal.

Since I have 200-ft high shot to most of the antennas I believe a small amplified antenna (they are very cheap) will work. Are the channels the same? Channel 11 is 11-1 etc ?
