Thanks for the heads up macuu222,

Some may have got it sooner but it took this long, (until today) for the fox channels to come back at my place. 11.1 11.2 etc

They're down again. Plus I can't get video from 4.1 and 4.2 and 14.1...just audio. Maybe the thunderstorms messed up their transmitters last night? Glad I'm not a big sports fan...

Maybe they're using a newer version of ATSC than your tuner can understand?
It's one of the "features" of ATSC: you have to replace your TV every few years.

My smaller newer TV can pick up the 4.1 ,4.2, and 4.3 but it's playing on 13.2, 13.3 and 13.4 like Hereon..... said in the above post. But 11's are gone totally as well as the religious channel 14.1(which I don't mind)

Everything that was posted makes sense. Channels 4, 11 and 14 are running off of the same tower, so it sounds like a lightning strike.
Channel 4 uses the RF frequency of 13, which TV's default to when it's not sending the proper virtual channel information.
Man, that would suck if Channel 11's new exciter was knocked down so quickly after replacement!
@kalakoa: There are no new versions of ATSC operating in Hilo (or Hawaii) yet. Based on the layout of licensed spectrum on Hawaii Island, I would expect that most transmissions that are currently available on the legacy ATSC format will be available as a simulcast on the new ATSC 3.0. The new format should be super-robust and easier to receive.

No maybe to it. It is for certain. Every time they go out there it occurs after a lightning storm. Not every storm knocks them out but every time they get knocked out there was a storm.

I'm sure in about 2 quick weeks they stations will send someone to mosey over from Oahu and do a speedy fix.
Then the next storm.
Then out for another 2 or 3 weeks. Spending more time off air than on.

Don't forget "order parts from the mainland", because they somehow never think to keep spares nearby.
