Pretty sure WDIV's NBC feed just went dark. Can someone verify?

Never mind, something weird is going on but I don't think it's on WDIV's end. Update: Everything is back to normal now. That was very strange, but whatever happened, I'm positive it's not on my end. I was able to pick up WXYZ just fine while all of this went down. Nevertheless, this was very unusual...

Re: Nomination: Any and All Racists

I agree it is bad but the word has lost all meaning. Now if you don't think like others you are racist, Don't like that candidate? racist. Not a member of whatever political party? racist..It is stupid, it has gotten out of hand and it needs to stop. Let me know when it quits being a label for some...

Re: Nomination: Any and All Racists

That would be in your opinion. These days disagreeing with some people's opinion gets that tag hung on you even though you are not one. That would be in your opinion.

Re: Will 5G Leapfrog ATSC 3.0?

5G will indeed exceed ATSC 3.0 just on the mere fact ATSC 3.0 is not mandated and also the fact that less than 21 percent of U.S. households still get their television over the air and that number is slowing dropping tons of people are cutting the cord not for broadcast television but for internet ...

Am I experiencing noise?

I keep seeing little lines across the video that blip into the picture for some frames. Is that noise or could it be something else? How can I test for noise?

Re: Will 5G Leapfrog ATSC 3.0?

Courtesy: TVNewsCheck Will 5G Leapfrog ATSC 3.0? "All of this means two things to broadcasters. First, our over-the-air advantage inherent in 3.0 will be reduced because the consumer will not necessarily know or care how video is brought into the home. Second, without need of handheld remotes, cons...

Tropo between Detroit and Warren?? Yeah even when there's Tropo around, I don't even get HPS.

Re: What is your favorite subchannel network?

The big question is when the repack is completed where will there be space for a high school television station in the Detroit market and also where is the money coming from for the ATSC 3.0 technology for that station when the big broadcasters can barely afford it. Now on the other hand the stream...

Re: What is your favorite subchannel network?

WPHS-LD wouldn't be a good callsign, as there's already a WHPS-CD in Highland Park, the callsigns are too similar. WWTS (We're Warren, Troy, and Sterling Heights) is available. That is a ridiculous statement. Hardly anyone in Warren or Sterling Heights knows WHPS-CD even exists. To be fair, that's ...

Re: What is your favorite subchannel network?

If it's a nonprofit, you probably can't have any commercial networks. I think the best option would be to have city council meetings from Warren, Troy, and Sterling Heights, the three cities that make up the Warren Consolidated School District. Or school sports events. Maybe also public domain movi...

Re: What is your favorite subchannel network?

Okay so to clear everything up-- WPHS-TV is a planned sister station to Cousino High School's radio station, WPHS-FM. Our goal for releasing it on streaming is late 2019/early 2020, and for terrestrial station in 2020. It'll be a low power station serving Sterling Heights/Warren and the surrounding...

Re: What is your favorite subchannel network?

So, how many millions of dollars does the WC School District plan on putting into this project? A broadcast station is not a DIY project. If this is a serious proposal, you'll absolutely need consulting engineers (you cannot just "Put Something Up and see what happens"), a system integrator, and of...
