Re: Encryption
I've been a user of SD products for over 7+ years, and I love them. Not so long for me. I jumped in with the Flex-4K about 1.5 years ago. Loved it, and still love it... for non-DRM ATSC 3.0 here in LA. I don't use or want a Za$$erbox, but because they are cable to record ATSC 3.0 DRM's content, the...

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...

Re: Super Bowl in 4K HDR
Alas, I didn't contribute to the SD transcoder stats, because my RockTek G2 (SEI804/Homatics/etc) natively transcodes AC-4 to E-AC-3 (DD+). Not really "alas", I guess. You know, I actually prefer the way my ZB M1 (also with local built-in AC4 decoding, like the G2) deals with Ac4 when you...

Re: Encryption
From the first post in this thread: 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 Widevine DRM decryption is possible but there are other requirements that are...

Re: Super Bowl in 4K HDR
CBS in the Detroit area is NOT DRM'd. Didn't know that. But then FOX here in LA is not DRM but I saw that FOX just recently now available in Chicago is DRM. Go figure. I thought it would be network-based, but apparently it's local affiliate determined. I will be watching the game with my ATSC 3 tun...

Re: Super Bowl in 4K HDR
Will be interesting to see if today beats last years record for peak cloud AC4 transcode workload. Unlikely. Last year's SB was on Fox, which is non-DRM. So everybody could watch the game in 1080p (where available) using Flex-4K server tuner/DVR. And if watched through a client device that did not ...

Re: No Sound On Roku - tsberry901
I had been having a "no sound on ATSC 1.0 channels" problem with my older Roku Ultra 4660, feeding sound to my Samsung J6300 TV. All other apps on the Roku delivered sound from the TV, except for the HDHR app. So last night I did a bit of digging. Turns out it was caused by my incorrect au...

Re: Win10 HDHR grid guide, right-arrow about 6 hours, LOCKS UP WINDOWS!
Well, I duplicated this symptom on three different Win10 machines, one desktop and two laptops. All are right up-to-date for all software and drivers. Nothing "buggy" or out-of-date in that department. Desktop has NVidia GTX1050ti, one laptop is NVidia M2000M, and the other laptop is Ryzen...

Win10 HDHR grid guide, right-arrow about 6 hours, LOCKS UP WINDOWS!
Well, this seems major enough to report. Win10 client HDHR app, 20231214 (app) 20240106 (UI). Running on same Win10 machine as DVR/server is running. Firmware 20231214 HD HomeRun setup version 20231214 I launch HDHR and it starts normally. I then push ENTER, and the expected overlay appears. https:/...

Re: Is there a reason a "hardware HDHR app" solution has never been proposed?
In other words, DRM has been around a very long time! And it's always, from day 1, included a "hardware involvement" of some kind in the "100% solution". For example, JVC building its DVHS VCRs to honor the CCI "copy-once" flag and refuse to make a duplicate VCR-to-VCR ...

Re: Is there a reason a "hardware HDHR app" solution has never been proposed?
I also bring up that old 5C copy protection concept of "copy-freely" vs. "copy-once" vs. "copy-never", from back in the early days of early Motorola-type early DVRs that actually came with FCC-mandated 1394 firewire ports, and JVC DVHS VCRs that included 1394 firewire p...

Re: Is there a reason a "hardware HDHR app" solution has never been proposed?
What's really central here is that one can argue quite justifiably that supposedly "free OTA" broadcast television in ATSC 3.0 form should not be DRM-controlled at all, at least not for the exact same content that is truly and simultaneously right now free OTA in its ATSC 1.0 form. I'm on ...

Re: Is there a reason a "hardware HDHR app" solution has never been proposed?
Microsoft dealt with the same issues with WMC. And the upshot was that they stated that there were simply going to be two kinds of content that WMC could support, and that there were simply going to be two sets of rules as to what you could do with that content. (1) non-DRM, copy-freely, such as fre...

Is there a reason a "hardware HDHR app" solution has never been proposed?
Well, we're pretty far along in this whole DRM story and still "no real progress" from the SD product user's perspective. I personally believe it must be due to intentional slow-walking by A3SA to actually agree to whatever "unsecured software player app solution" has been propos...
