Syracuse NY Terrestrial/Clear QAM Mapping

For those in the Rome/Utica/Syracuse area that may combine a OTA digital antenna (ATSC) with Time Warner ClearQAM on a 3rd-party DVR device... or perhaps you're simply trying to tune in the local stations from your cable line onto a computer tuner (HDHomeRun, CetonTV, Elgato eyeTV, etc) here's what I've put together in terms of station mapping...  Station Handle Call Sign Channel QAM Channel NBC WKTVDT 2.1 -- CWPLUS WKTVDT2 2.2 -- METV WKTVDT3 2.3 -- NBC WSTMDT1 3.1 76.3 CW WSTMDT2 3.2 92.5 IND WSTMDT3 3.3 76.2 CBS WTVHDT1 5.1 76.5 ABC WSYRDT 9.1 92.1 METV WSYRDT2 9.2 92.2 BOUNCE WSYRDT3 9.3 -- YNN TWCNCNY 10.1 86.1 WGN -- 14.1 93.5 TBS -- 17.1 119.2 ABC WUTRDT 20.1 -- MYNET WUTRDT2 20.2 --

Amazon Unbox Broken by Windows Updates

Per thedigitialmediazone's article: A recent update that came through Windows Update on December 9th, 2014, appears to be breaking the PlayReady DRM used by Media Center. Members of the GreenButton.tv forum are indicating that the culprit is update KB3004394. The update applies to all versions of Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, although only Windows 7 has been tested for breakage so far. If it breaks PlayReady for all of those versions, the Media Center users will be unable to play back any protected content including watching live TV and watching recorded TV. Any non-protected content, like over the air recordings, should play back just fine. Do not attempt to reinstall PlayReady, as you may loose access to your existing library of protected content. It appears that the best fix, until Microsoft addresses this, is to remove the update 3004394. Thanks to Paul Honens for the tip!
