Re: Why can't ATSC 3.0 Encryption Be Handled at the DVR Level?


I'm curious why the ATSC 3.0 DRM encryption certification or the decryption capability has to be at the tuner level instead of at the DVR or software player level. Can the tuner not see the raw bits coming across the airwaves and allow the DVR just store them on a drive without even knowing what ...

Re: Encryption


I’m not sure I understand the CONOPS of this planned ATSC 3.0 Emergency Broadcast System testing. I understand they want to test it, but I’m not sure how the FCC / ATSC 3.0 / NAB determines whether the test is successful.

For example, is the FCC able to determine how many people receive the ...

Re: Encryption




Don't know how long it will last...

Probably a lot shorter than if you didn't post about it on a public forum :lol:.

I don’t know much about broadcast engineering, but I would hope it’s a little more methodical than that.

Re: Chicago: scanned channels went from 100+ to 21


Hardware Model HDFX-2US
Firmware Version 20260326
Device ID 10954807

A few weeks ago, list of channels that I can watch went from 100 to 21, and it's a weird mix.

For example, I scanned WBBM-DT3 on 2.3, but not WBBM-DT or DT2

Nothing on the hardware side has changed; it's an antenna in the ...

Re: Next Gen Channel Freeze


Was already in process of doing this now. I simultaneously watched using the HD home run app on the same Fox 145.1 channel. The Google streamer froze on that channel but the iPhone kept right on streaming it. Just a few minutes ago.

you might want to consider getting the roku ultra, it does a better job handling the hdhomerun app and it has dolby atmos ac4 audio encoding as well as support for hevc.

I bought an HD home run flex 4K and mostly love it however with my three separate Samsung TV and fire stick 4K combinations the HD home run app crashes when trying to access a next GEN channel or recording. So I contacted customer service and quickly got a reply, which was very encouraging, which ...

the only clear resolution is for the court to get involved, however the fcc will have to light their fire first.
