 I realize this post is quite dated now; but I wanted to highlight that for
 people with HDHomeRun Connect 4K devices (and I assume successor Flex
 devices) that there is a trivially easy way for people in ATSC3.0
 broadcast areas to capture raw feeds for testing with:
 https://info.hdhomerun.com/info/troubleshooting:creating_a_sample
 remember that ATSC3.0 stations are presented by HDHR as 100+channel
 number, so for me (picking up Cincinnati), 105.1, 109.1, 112.1, etc.
 Example curl command:
 curl http://192.168.0.37:5004/auto/v112.1?duration=120 >
 ../test_capture_of_112_1.ts
 This capture avoids automatic transcoding by ffmpeg/ffmpeg-derived tools
 that will otherwise try to demux/remux and decode/encode broadcast formats
 (e.g. HEVC/AC-4) into assumed-preferred formats (e.g. MP2/H.264).
 Since I'm now able to record off-air, I hope to help in testing + probably
 code integration into head branch of ffmpeg.
 On a related note... do you know why?:
 1) The Richardpl fork indicates it's from an ffmpeg branch 3 years old,
 and that can't be readily updated to current ffmpeg version (no big deal,
 only ~dozen sources look related to AC-4, but just curious)
 2) but this thread would suggest the code is only 10 months old? ... and
 is there a separate discussion / real effort underway to integrate the
 code into ffmpeg head? (I wouldn't want to duplicate effort, but rather
 assist)
