Re: Encryption


Sounds like racketeering to me.

Pay up competitor because it would be a shame if you're suddenly unable to broadcast. Would be a terrible if no one could see your channel!

How can this possibly be legal?


IT IS....

not legal, it is blackmailing a practice used by the mafia.

Re: Encryption



I've read much hand-wringing about DRM causing concern during emergency situations. But I cannot fathom the issue. If there is an emergency the broadcasters can always turn DRM off. Pure ATSC 3.0, no certificates, no internet required. Then they turn DRM back on after the emergency is over ...

Re: Encryption





they basicly can... hevc came out in April 2013.
so figure in 2015 and newer tvs can handle hevc. He also specified any of those tvs that dont come with tuners can handle atsc3.0 with a tuner like hdhomerun... as long as no drm


Exactly - that was the whole point of that section of my ...

Re: WBFF 145 Stations


These issues seem to have corrected themselves now. Channel and show content images now render for all my channels including the two WBFF ATSC 3.0 stations in HDHR and Channels apps.

If you did something on your end, thanks!

Re: Encryption



if nickk can show and i believe nickk can show that there is collusion between pearl and a3sa to keep gateway devices from decrypting the signal then the next step would be to involve the legal system.
Pearl was a founding member of A3SA. I'm not sure one can collude with themselves.

Re: Encryption



So what are the next steps Silicondust can do? Are you still having dialog with A3SA? Anything legal wise you can bring to the table and force their hand? I understand this whole issue is very complicated but it's also very frustrating as an owner of a flex4k and not getting everything I can out ...

Re: Encryption


Pardon my complete lack of understanding here... but is that why the CableCard HDHR won't work on AndoridTV devices? The same thing that's preventing getting A3SA certified is preventing get recertified at the correct level because of the chip?

So basically we are now very limited to using a ...

Re: Encryption



More like just a "bare-bones minimum" ATSC 3.0 solution for the 95% of OTA viewers wouldn't you say?

Oh, for sure. I only meant "viable" in the eyes of Pearl and possibly a misinformed FCC. Not at all viable for those of us with a DVR mindset.

Re: Roku Ultra unable to run HDHomerun - tjp


I installed the new update (103 build 20250718) on both my "Roku Ultra" and "Roku Streaming Stick Plus 2025". This update fixed the problem on the Roku Ultra, but created a new bug with the "Roku Streaming Stick Plus 2025".

On the Streaming Stick I get the splash screen and then the channel ...
