We put the new(ish) CBS rack from Chicago online today. I’m happy to say it seems to have solved the horrible 5.1 drop outs that we’ve been getting using the CBS prescribed Harris Net300/Dolby DP572 configuration (crossing fingers).
Even kicking a 5M antenna we were still occasionally getting audio drops from that insane 9/10 FEC. Sure you can mash 80Mb/s down a single transponder but at what cost quality, not ever station can benefit from the little brain trust we got stashed away here. Seriously, by the time we wrap it in ATSC the absolute BEST bitrate (which no one would be stupid enough to use OTA) would be 32Mb/s. Where do you think the rest of that information is going???
FLUSHHHHH!!!
