Re: Encryption

Thanks NedS for some clarification. Yes, the owner of the Tab*o is one of the major broadcasters on the A3SA, but isn't SD part of the A3SA too as an adopter? Is SD and the other members of the S3SA, both broadcasters and adopters talking to each other and collaborating on standards and specificatio...

Re: Encryption

Not looking to move to Za$$erbox, just hoping something from SD will provide some sort of update on their progress If there is an update we are able to share with you, then we will share it with you. At no point would we just suddenly forget to tell everyone about some great progress on the most pr...

Re: Encryption

I don't see the proposed plans as anything different than what is posted on the first page of this thread. No one has yet offered any proof that what they're suggesting is currently possible or allowed. What you guys are reading is marketing material in the form of a "future" changelog. S...

Re: Encryption

I wouldn't put much stock in their "future plans", given the current restrictions in place. It's unknown exactly what they are really describing. But as I interpret things they are not hindered by wanting to stream DRM content around the network to popular player devices which are themsel...

I'm not a Za$$erbox user or fan, but at lease their box is recording ATSC 3.0 DRM'd video, which is more than we can say about the Flex 4K.

Re: Encryption

Getting back on message, it looks like the score is now Za$$erbox one, HDHomeRun zero. The 'Antenna Man' reported on his Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgnnMJODpoY) that the Za$$erbox M1 is now capable of recoding ATSC 3.0 video. Meanwhile, crickets from the SD team. The device is...

Re: The HDFX-4K, a different perspective and why it is a good purchase..

Update on performance. I have only had the new hardware installed for two days. It does work far better than my old HDHomerun Duo which was going on four years old. Today is heavy clouds and light showers. All four tuners report a signal strength at 100 percent. Signal quality is between 90-100 per...

Re: The HDFX-4K, a different perspective and why it is a good purchase..

I've been using HDHomeRun tuners for awhile now. When I first heard I could use them with Plex, I jumped on the SD bandwagon. I currently have a Quattro 4-tuner (ATSC 1.0) and a Flex 4K ATSC 3.0 tuner. In addition to Plex, I also run Channels DVR, which also works with HDHomeRun tuners to record OTA...

Re: Encryption

I think I'm rooting against ATSC 3.0 because of encryption, at least as a replacement for ATSC 1.0 in 2027. I bought the HD Homerun 4K before ATSC 3.0 came to my area because arrival was imminent. When it did arrive, I couldn't distinguish any improvement in picture quality but did appreciate the s...

Re: Encryption

The Supreme Court has ruled on the 'Locast' case because they were making user 'donate' to get their service to get around the 'non-profit' clause, but if you failed to donate, you got shutdown from the service. There is a new company in Boston that is trying to startup a similar service, but the ju...

Re: Encryption

Will DRM encrypted ATSC 3.0 channels play on 2023 Samsung televisions? From my understanding of the requirements it isn't possible for an app on a Samsung TV to meet requirements. I plan to ask A3SA for clarification. Nickk, is the goal of the A3SA and it's DRM security to allow broadcasters to tur...

Re: Encryption

I don't think there's really anything in the A3SA's press release that tells us anything new. To me, it looks more like a PR response to criticism about their rank incompetence in moving ATSC 3.0 forward. They are attempting to shift the focus from their slug-like movement to the streaming device m...

Re: Encryption

If this release is BS, why doesn't SD issue it's own press release stating this, and file a complaint to the ATSC committee and the FCC stating that their PR announcement failed to provide the requirements for a gateway DVR? Try putting the heat on the A3SA and call them out so consumers know that ...

Re: FCC, DRM A3SC and the public input

FCC, DRM and A3SC What can the public do to influence the A3SC? I watched Lon’s video about the latest A3SA rules and apologize if you previously answered my question and/or I misinterpreted Lon’s video. The recent A3SC decisions apparently solves the DRM issues but have said nothing about gateways...
