I'll check again and see how well it works. I'm slamming the laptop with ffmpeg on about 100 files right now, so it may not be an accurate test for another week or two.

My "server" is an old Thinkpad T420 maxed out with 16GB RAM and a 1TB disk. Totally overloaded running a bunch of services across multiple docker-compose stacks.

What helped me the most with transcoding was not giving up until I got the relay function turned off. Since I run Plex in docker, Plex doesn't know the host's LAN IP. Once I published the laptop's IP in the custom URL, boom, that unlocked the full speed for me.

With an Antennas Direct ClearStream 5, I'm able to get 6abc out in Bucks. It is about the size of 12 shoeboxes, though, in 3 dimensions. The good news is that ATSC 3.0 is (eventually) coming. All of the major stations appear to be broadcasting on one frequency from one tower in the markets that have it. If 6abc finally moves to the main tower farm, our long digital nightmare may be coming to a close.

You'll need an ATSC 3.0-compatible tuner. I run the HDHomeRun Flex 4K into a PleX server with a lifetime Plex Pass. That gives me a 4-tuner DVR and I can watch TV or recordings on any TV or mobile device inside or outside of my home.

Bottom right. She was "disappointed" by a call during an Eagles game - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4XSGnQgIGI

I heard her on 94 the next morning. She was awesome. Also a breast cancer survivor!
