Thanks for sharing this Nick. It's very well written and covers the important points. We can certainly see in this filing the "update" we've all been ...

The only answer SD can give, other than completely giving up (which has not happened), has already been given:

"Will DRM encrypted ATSC 3.0 channels play on my Android or Fire TV device?
Using a gateway product - we expect it will be possible in the future but it is not possible today. The Google ...

Mods, at your earliest convenience please PM me to help me post better in the future. I can no longer see the content to attempt to understand how my response differed from the post I was responding to, regarding application of forum rules.

Regardless, I'm ...

Hmm...so SD folks are reading this thread but not interested in addressing this. Oh well, this patient long-time customer's expectations for the company have hit the floor. Good luck with whatever you're trying to do. I suggest deleting "There is activity happening." from your FAQ in the ...

I scrolled back and it has been 4 months since the last time someone politely asked for an update and was admonished for being high maintenance. I saw a firmware update drop this week but it doesn't look like it has anything related. Has SD just moved on?


As I understand how this works, the ...

Giving your post the benefit of the doubt as a sincere question, even though your last line makes me think you also are not interested in an actual exchange of ideas...

What makes me think SD might have something they could share in those two areas is literally nickk's post from yesterday. In the ...

There is weird and then there is whatever this is. Have a discussion about DRM and the motivations or don't, I won't hold it against SD either way. Jason posted this:

Listen, I know SD isn't going to get anywhere trying to convince A3SA to abandon DRM. I'm fine letting EFF push for that while SD pushes for a functional implementation.

However, I'm seeing a lot more from the company about how a difficult to quantify threat "can still be a real concern" than what ...

Not buying this. International access to sports is pretty easy. If I am outside of the US and Canada and want to watch the NFL, I can go sign up for NFL Game Pass on DAZN and get all the games. If I want to watch the NHL, it's not as unified, as Disney+ has the package in some regions, a couple ...

The world that exists outside of the United States. There's a huge market for US TV shows and sports outside internationally, and as with anything, piracy provides a cheaper way to access it, what with not having to pay copyright holders. The concern there is very real. Whether ATSC 3.0 DRM will ...

Looking at A3SA's PDF, something doesn't appear to be jibin' between what A3SA mandates for device manufacturers and the restrictions it says broadcasters cannot implement.

I kinda wish SD could inform its user base with details on their trials and tribulations with A3SA "certification" so we ...
