I'm not familiar with where things are installed on Windows, but you should have an already complete example flow graph named 
uhd_atsc_tx.grc somewhere.

It's probably in a directory with a name like gnuradio/share/gnuradio/examples/dtv

Also, the test file is https://www.w6rz.net/advastc.ts (which is noted in the example flow graph).

adv16apsk910.ts is the DVB-S2 test file and will still mostly work, but there will be either video of audio hiccups because it's the 
incorrect Transport Stream bitrate.
