Re: [PLUG] MythTV can't tune ABC via LEAF

For my wife and me it was all about YouTube TV including MSNBC, Syfy, and BBC America in the package along with the Phillies. We get our internet from FiOS, but there was no way to get those essential-for-us channels without paying another $70-90 a month because there was no inexpensive bundle that offered all three.

I wasn't happy when you raised the monthly price from $40 to $50 recently, but we'll keep it so long as it makes sense.

For what its worth, last month I finally dropped Comcast after testing Hulu out for 60 days.  Its been absolutely great- live tv plus dvr of the shows we each watch (2 streams and multiple profiles in the base live package).  Viewing on whatever device I want including my Chromecast.  I would say its worth looking at that against YouTube TV since they have similar offerings.  I don't trust Google anymore to keep services around (and with Disney having 100% control of Hulu I'm nervous about their future too) but in my research it seems like YouTube and Hulu were the most complete no b.s. options out there.

Channels 6 and 12 gave always been more trouble for us ever since the digital switch. We're in our third month of YouTube tv now, though, so I can't say whether anything has changed recently.

I've always had a problem tuning in ABC via my LEAF antenna for MythTV,
but it mostly worked.  In the last 2-3 weeks it seems like it's not
working at all anymore, at least via the HD HomeRun 2 tuner I have.

Is anyone else having problems or does anyone know if something changed
recently?  Is anyone else still fiddling with broadcast at all, or is
everyone doing some kind of streaming?  We have Netflix and Amazon
Prime, but that only goes so far.

Clues?  TIA,
JP

PS--it seems like a lot of PBS stuff is on Netflix or Amazon, but I've
found that the Roku PBS app silently crashes when Pi-hole blocks
doubleclick.net, which I find unacceptable
