Daylight savings time ends on 5 November which means that stations should begin sending PSIP data to that effect on 6 October. The details on how this process should be managed are in ATSC A/65, Annex A and FCC regulations require that all except low power stations follow the standard. But they have a poor record of following the standard.
It looks like only one station jumped the gun this morning:
KDTN (RF 29)
With three more joining in the evening.:
KFWD (RF 9)
KDTX (RF 21)
KAZD (RF 31)
A few stations began today as they are supposed to:
KTXA (RF 18)
KTVT (RF 19)
KXAS (RF 24)
KDAF (RF 32)
KDFW (RF 35)
KXTX (RF 36)
A bit late:
WFAA (RF 8)
KTXD (RF 23)
KPXD (RF 25)
KMPX (RF 30)
The Raspberry Pi (Model B, so old for a Pi) picked this week to act up. I suspect a power supply problem since the SD card isn't corrupted. But local souces for such things are a bit thin these days. I tried restarting it yesterday and it booted up but didn't last the night. So no transition data.
The new power supply for the RPi seems to have fixed it. At least it stayed up overnight. Looking at DST data I only two stations still showing a DS_status of 1, or in daylight saving time. Both full power stations that should know better: KDFI (RF27) and KUVN (RF33).
Since I no longer have the space limitataions with my Earthlink pages I can make data from previous transitions available here rather than rely on the Internet Archive.
