Hello,
Sacramento EPG lineup recently added channel 13.5 Catchy (KOVRDT5)
The drop down list does not have an entry for this channel. Please add it to the Sacramento OTA channel list.

Thanks!!
There will be no separate lineups for ATSC 3.0 channels. The 1xx.x channels produced by HDHomeRun Tuners (possibly others?) are virtual channels (separate from broadcasters’ virtual channel). You would have to use the normal virtual channels’ guide data for them. For example, for 102.1 you would use 2.1.
However, Plex does not support the AC-4 audio codec required by most (all?) ATSC 3.0 broadcasts, so these channels are not supported right now anyway. There’s a thread here somewhere about it but, effectively, Plex does not support ATSC 3.0 at this time.
Got it. That was quick. Thank you!
Does seem odd that the hdhomerun app on my Sony TV plays the channels with audio fine… I was thinking plex would not work if it had to recode but should work if audio was just a passthrough to the player. I’ll leave it to the professionals. Thanks!
Plex cannot pass through AC-4 audio at this time (or transcode it). There’s a discussion thread about this topic:
It’s somewhat contentious at times, but otherwise informative.
For the time being, as far as Plex Live TV & DVR is concerned, ATSC 3.0 is not supported.
Got it… will keep hopes up… I know this is quite a new area, just hard to understand how passthrough isn’t passthrough.
This has been referred to Gracenote
I have referred the following to Gracenote
16.6 Oxygen
16.7 GetTV
25.12 EMLW
For the others (116.1 NBC16, 122.1 CBS, 122.2 Fox, 128.1 H&I, 134.1 PBS, 146.1 WHME-HD), I cannot find any references to these channel numbers on RabbitEars.Info for South Bend, Indiana market
The channels actually exist without the 100 added - are they variations on channels
16.1 NBC
22.1 CBS
22.2 Fox
28.1 H&I
34.1 PBS
46.1 WHME
This has been referred to Gracenote
Thank you. The 1XX.X refers to the ATSC 3.0 version of the channel.
Thank you
ATSC 3.0 is not suppoted
For example, the channel 10 Peach would not be listed as 10 Peach on the EPG, but rather Network Ten (Australia) (ELPRANZ)
Postal code: 6000
I tried to use the same guide numbers for the the 3.0 channels, but the save button won’t work. I can uncheck the 1.0 channels, to get the save to work, but the 3.0 channels won’t tune in at all. I know about the audio issues, just playing around.
Missing the bottom few. USA, 83687 (also tried the zipcode where the tower for those channels is located)
That’s expected; you can’t reuse the same guide data for multiple channels. Perhaps when ATSC 3.0 support is fully realized Plex will change this. However, it’s moot because…
ATSC 3.0 channels are not supported at this point. I was only pointing out one of the reasons why that is so. I should have been more clear about the extent to which they aren’t supported.
Something else you’ll run into if/when Plex supports ATSC 3.0 is that, in many markets, many such channels are now being DRM encrypted by broadcasters. No gateway tuner (HDHomeRun) can themselves decrypt these channels at this time.
When the tuners become capable of this, it is still up to client applications to implement support for it as well. Due to the development and certification work involved, I would not expect that to happen with Plex (or any other 3rd-party DVR, at least not legally) for a long time, if ever.
In short, I’d caution against relying on Plex as your DVR solution for DRM-encumbered ATSC 3.0 in the long term, or even for DRM-encumbered Live TV in the short term. If you want to test out ATSC 3.0 channels, for now I’d recommend SiliconDust’s own HDHomeRun app/DVR. But even that can’t handle DRM, yet.
