There are several issues for Live TV streaming because FFmpeg does not have full RFC-7933 and RFC-8216 support, so some live streams do not play properly.
Dolby AC-4 and MPEG-H 3D audio support is missing from FFmpeg in order to be able to record and play back ATSC 3.0 over the air 4K broadcasts as well.
It is recommended if you are interested in 4K TV that you check to see what areas are broadcasting in ASTC 3.0 in the USA.
