5 days agoATSC 3.0 is usable. I have a HDHomerun sitting on my LAN with a couple 3.0 tuners.
The big problem is:
-
the 3.0 broadcasts are still mostly tests, so you get mostly a respin of a 1.0 channel
-
the audio is AC-4 and a lot of software doesn’t support it. There was stuff for Windows but when I looked, the usual suspects (VLC, mpv) on Linux didn’t support it
You could get a SDR dongle. The cheap ones probably won’t fo AM well, but they make excellent FM tuners, as well as aircraft, 2-metre and 70cm ham bands with a pretty basic antenna.
