Anyone hear that flushing sound? I think that's the sound of ATSC 3 (Nextgen TV going down the toilet... I wonder when the broadcasters will realize pushing encryption was a huge mistake. They are the ones to blame for thos standard failing.
It is the networks that are forcing DRM on the ...

Do you have another link that doesn't force you to install a Chrome extension?

Again congratulations! Although the HDHomerun 4K products may not be the first to get NextGen certified for an external tuner, they are the first on the market you can actually buy today. Good job!
