I've searched the forums, and cannot find an answer for this, so if there is one, please point me there.

I am wanting to use the HDHomeRun Windows app to access my device across subnets.


If your network supports multicast IPv6, and multicast forwarding (and proper network equipment should), it ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The last 8 years of my professional life before retiring in 2023 was with a marketing automation company (email service) as a product engagement manager. It is increasingly hard - and expensive - to maintain your reputation as a "good sender" and stay out of the spam boxes. As ISPs tighten ...

In general I'm not opposed to using social media for changelog updates. However, what I really want is to get an email notification when there is a new changelog entry. I don't want to have to keep checking in case there is an update. As far as I can tell, Bluesky doesn't support email ...

Broadcasters are required to carry at least one MPEG2 channel in at least 480i resolution with synchronized audio. AFAIK there is no requirement as to which service that be. I'm not aware of any direct prohibition on carrying a major network affiliation in AVC, but it might not go over so well if ...

ATSC 1 uses DVD-era encoding from 20 years ago. Wish they would have released something like ATSC 2.0 first, which would have switched to modern encoding to be more spectrum efficient, while still not supporting 4k, so the broadcasters can't throw a fit about DRM.
Broadcasters are allowed to ...
