ATSC 3.0 reception issues CT

[dfecarter]

I have been noticing that the ATSC 3.0 signals for me in western CT have only been coming in occasionally as of late. I think I read someone else commenting on this but does anyone have any idea what the cause might be? Thanks

What are the call letters of the lighthouse station that hosts them? Please also post your Rabbitears report on the location of your antenna: https://www.rabbitears.info/searchmap.php

It's not an issue on your end, WCCT has been having intermittent problems for the past few weeks.

Hey Scott Greczkowski any chance you know someone to kick on this? The lighthouse has been down for the better part of a week now, with no comms.

Didn't know it was down. Lol.

I will ping Joe at the mountain and see if he knows anything.

Thanks. Yeah, with DRM on most, it's not really terribly useful, but i would have liked to have watched it yesterday.

My Sony TV decides the DRM. But I haven't been around to watch TV this weekend.

Looks like your nudge worked Thanks Scott

I contacted Joe and he didn't know it was down and said he would contact engineering.

Guess that worked.

I've had this happen to various locals to me also. They never seem to know their OTA signal is down. You contact the engineer, and they reboot the ENCODER, and are back up in minutes! One station local to me, was down 4 days until I contacted the engineer. They were back up in minutes after that.
