Eventually there will be a lot more interactive features, along with HDR
video. Only KPRC has some basic interactive features up currently. Houston
is the largest launch of this so far.
In order to put ATSC 3/Nextgen on the air here, channels 20 and 39 had to
basically go off the air with their ATSC 1 signals. 39.1 (The CW) is
actually being broadcast in ATSC 1 by KPRC 2 and 20 is on their sister
station KRIV’s transmitter now.
KIAH 39 is now carrying 2, 8, 11, 39 & 47 in ATSC 3
KTXH 20 is carrying 13, 20, 26, 45, & 67 in ATSC 3.
The stations are sending their streams between each other’s facilities via
IP video over the public internet.
I am an engineer at a station involved in this if anyone has any questions
or comments. If you have an ATSC 3/Nextgen TV and are having issues with
the signal, let me know.
