Just additional information to offer. K38IZ-D (Spanish Independent) seems to be having 'technical difficulties' yet again, and typically, has not posted any information on their website. Suddenly lost all audio and video for all seven of the K38IZ-D sub-channels, on 28 March 2017. K38IZ-D1 (DTV 38-1 RitmoVz) is currently the only sub-channel working, as of today (April 3rd), and is showing the programming for K38IZ-D2 (DTV 38-2 TUFF-TV). Rescanning simply removed all other K38 sub-channels from the stored channel list.

KHDF-19 Las Vegas has morphed their 19.3 'for lease' billboard into a simulcast of their 19.1 Azteca service. The 19.3 is 480i 4x3 while the 19.1 remains 702p 16x9. The 19.2 and 19.4 remian billboarded 'for lease'. The changes became effective on the fifth anniversary of the stations digital service of 2 April.
