Is KIRO doing something different than KING/KONG on the ATSC3.0 video? Is KING/KONG progressive and KIRO interlaced?
I've had stuttering here and there, depending on the device, but not noticed that being any worse than normal.Anybody else noticing macroblocking on KING 5.1 now that they are also carrying KONG 16.1? Didn't see it before and it's actually quite bad during some scenes of SNL tonight. Maybe they could at least knock the KONG signal down to 720p.

I didn't watch the whole thing but had it on my PC for a bit and didn't notice any issues. I noticed you've been having issues with King 5 specifically (I assume it is with ATSC 1.0). Are you aware of what the signal strength and quality is when this is happening?The macroblocking on KING 5.1 is terrible tonight! I'm watching the Steelers/Browns game and it's so noticeable. KONG really needs to be knocked down to 720p and the bit rate reduced. I've seen the ratings- they're not really going to upset anybody by doing that.

Noticed this morning that 13.4 is BUZZR, now!• The Stadium simulcast on 13.4 is now PSIPed "BUZZR"
This is great news! If the FCC and Industry Canada sign-off on this, 1MW on channel 17 could put out an even better signal than when they were on channel 41 during the transition.KCTS-9 just filed to move to channel 17 with 1,000 KW from a slightly directional antenna to protect a station in B.C. Their proposal mentions reception problems necessitating the move. Perhaps the problem is that they are running 21.7 KW instead of the 100 KW that their neighbor KSTW is running.
