Hi Stephen, Did you make progress with this zero byte output problem? Anyway, I'm wondering if the ATSC receiver implementation will work at all with the current version of Gnuradio. It looks like parts of the original ATSC implementation that was working with Gnuradio 0.9 have been adapted to be used in Gnuradio 2.0, but now we have 3.2.2. Anyone here who can verify that the provided code can decode ATSC signals? Thanks Klaus
