Trying to find somebody who can capture Utah free OTA TV starting next week

[iliketoarchive]

I have been visiting this site for years but never made an account until now. I also didn't know where to categorize this so I am posting it here.

I am part of an effort to preserve some lost media for the show "Zula Patrol".
It was a show that aired on PBS/Qubo starting around 2006 and was a very big part of my childhood. Currently the show is unavailable to watch anywhere on any commercial streaming service (which is why we are trying to preserve it) however it's airing on a TV network in the US in Utah called Utah Education Network (UEN).

The show will be airing on UEN starting next week (you can find more info here https://www.uen.org/tv/whatson/results.php?search=zula+patrol).Unfortunately I am not in Utah and don't know anyone there, so I am making this post as a last ditch effort to see if anyone here can help.

My goal is to capture the broadcasts (which will likely be in 720i at least, though 1080i is preferred if available) along with the closed captions, as subtitles are not easily accessible for this show. Basically just need to get a good quality capture of each episode that airs on UEN for preservation purposes starting this next week until they stop airing the show so ideally good signal quality is preferred as well (no interference during broadcasts etc).

I am posting here because I know a lot of people here are skilled with TV broadcast capturing and what not (I am good at it but I'm not in Utah so my skills are useless here), and really have nowhere else to turn for this, so if anyone located in Utah is willing to help I would be very grateful for your assistance.

If you are able to help please send me a message (if you wish to not make your location publicly known) or post here (if you don't mind it being public).

Thank you in advance and I am glad to finally be a part of the forum

EDIT: I have to wait for approval for any replies so I will just PM anyone who replies, because this is time sensitive

Yes, all three seasons appear to be available on youtube (and it's easy to download from there).

You may be able to get better quality from an OTA cap though.

@october262 @jagabo the stuff on youtube is incomplete and is not all 3 seasons there, and the company that runs the channel refuses to add any of the missing episodes. We have checked every upload on the channel, but the ones they have are either low quality or missing content between episodes with informational shorts. As you see on the channel they are only 12 minute clips, which means they are missing the stuff in between episodes and the quality on youtube is not great for a lot of them and has issues


I am asking here because I have exhausted all other avenues to find these in the highest quality possible, so these broadcasts have to be captured to preserve the episodes.
