As stated on the first page, the package is not signed so you may need to learn how to "--allow-insecure-repositories" but you may not wish to.


Unofficial means unofficial. And cheap means cheap.

And (I think) what was mentioned (in either this, or the related topic) was that anyone who wishes ...

There are no commercial markings in the broadcast.

A good percentage of adverts do no contain closed captioning. No closed captioning due to an advert and no closed captioning due to nobody talking look the same.


It was never about CC itself.

I am going to prefer to think I did not explain it ...

Any chance of a future device like this?


Always a chance, but it seems unlikely, as it would (typically) require additional hardware (tuner/demod) support, and few (to none) would be willing to pay for such support (and if everyone is not willing to do so, how much additional would you ...

This is mostly good news for broadcasters.


Congratulations to SD.

Having more than one viable solution provider is typically good for the potential clients (while collusion is possible, having alternatives tends to drive the price(s) down).

Being a CA is not intellectually hard, but the ...

Detecting commercials requires a fairly powerful system to decode and analyze the audio and video. The HDHomeRun DVR is intentionally designed to be very lightweight and able to run on minimal hardware, including FLEX devices and low-end NAS boxes. It also has no knowledge of the audio and video ...

I can't imagine the cable industry inventing or adopting another DRM system at this point. TV over QAM is on its way out.


*Every* major operator has indicated that their future solution will be IPTV based in major industry events. Some (especially the smaller ones) by exiting the TV service ...

I remember back in the day, like most everyone here, getting a couple of $40 coupons to buy a couple of Zenith converter boxes which had a very sensitive tuner. I still have both boxes too. LOL.
In today's money, the FCC should now give up a $200 coupon for a STB. ;)


Such converter boxes have ...

That post is bullshit and Luke Bouma should be embarrassed. Absolutely nothing changed because of the FCC's public notice. It was literally just a restatement of all ...

That is correct. Matching is via public IP address and we don't know the public IPv4 address of a tuner that connects to our servers using IPv6.

Perhaps IPv6 capable devices (if they also have an IPv4 address) should also attempt to contact the servers via IPv4 to add those devices to the ...

Yes, I know SD recommends against using cloud based discovery (and I mostly don't use is, but I do offer it as an option for one of my apps). But I have observed a couple of what I consider to be anomalies (errors) in the results.

First, if one uses the IPv4 endpoint, or the default endpoint, which ...

Is there a way to tell from the device ID if a device is legacy or not? If it is not legacy and perhaps an edge case in my own system can the device ID show if the device is ATSC/QAM vs DVB-T/C?


The official definition of the algorithm for determining from the device id if a device is legacy ...

FANTASTIC response Nick! Detailed and complete, and even I could understand it. I think any FCC commissioner could understand it as well.


Just for the record, it is likely that no commissioner will ever actually read it.

While the FCC Commissioners are the leadership, and make the decisions ...

The problem is not a cert expiring. The problem is the validation of the Android system that needs to happen when renewing the certificate.

CableCARD DRM channels work on Windows, XBox, and iPhone/iPad with the new certificates.


Excellent. Since you fully understand the issue, and will put ...

Windows and iOS updates are out now, Android requires additional work.


I am going to ask what I hope is not an embarrassing question. Cert expiration should be well known. Why does SD not have internal processes to update their cert(s) in advance of expiration? Did you RIF the people who ...

Yes, Android would work IF there was a DRM solution for the SD tuners. There is not, and doesn't seen like there will ever be. Or IF so, it's still a long way out.

There is more to a solution than just widevine.support, although SD has suggested that Android platforms are likely to be among the ...
