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.
