Strange issue on WICU Ch 12 Erie Pa

Post by N2JYG »

I have a strange issue with WICU TV out of Erie Pa
It gives me a black screen, then it will say 207 MHz and then E-N-1 WICU HD … , the 3 dots act like loading icons…
I have strong RF signal on Ch 12 VHF, my channel on RF channel 5 seems (26 virtual) works ok. Other tuner boxes from other mfg’s work ok. I do note that this box sensitivity is a bit weaker. I do like the idea of having the ability to use the Android side the ability to add apps and use other streaming services.

Has this channel changed the resolution / video format, maybe H265?

Not sure if they changed anything… but my other boxes and a small ATSC 1 TV works fine.

Try deleting the channel and re scan it so any changes are installed.

Your other boxes may have auto update.

You are having a DRM issue. The broadcaster may be transmitting DRM improperly. Try unplugging the X1 power for 10 seconds and power back up to reset DRM decryption. If this does not work post your question on AVS Forum under the antenna reception area for your Erie PA location.
