Re: Encryption

On the subject of DRM - A3SA can revoke or deny DRM content viewing on/via a product at any time. This essentially means that every new idea for a consumer product and every new feature an innovator wants to add to a consumer product needs to be approved by the broadcasters that are on the A3SA vot...

Re: Encryption

There's a lot of room to improve, sure. A paperweight, though? I think that's disingenuous. Open to feedback - what features/areas do you think there is room to improve on? AppleTV - we are adding 1080i 60fps support and the ability to disable slice guide for people who are watching by themselves a...

Re: A3SA maintenance notice - May 29

I don’t even get why they’re telling us this. I’ve gotten to the point my Homerun is now sitting in my rack at home unplugged because at this point, it’s a brick and a waste of electricity. Wow. You live in a ATSC3 only area? my HDhomerun is plugged-in and i am running 1 soft and 1 app, the soft is...

Re: Encryption

Got it. Thank you. Is there a particular reason why it couldn't do the same for live TV also? 1) Recording works by TV show/episode so it only matters that it is the same episode, not that the channel is 100% the same. 2) Thinking it would be confusing if you select channel 102.1 and it tunes or ju...

Re: Encryption

I don't see the proposed plans as anything different than what is posted on the first page of this thread. No one has yet offered any proof that what they're suggesting is currently possible or allowed. What you guys are reading is marketing material in the form of a "future" changelog. S...

Nickk,

Re: Encryption

My closest TV market is Oklahoma City. In the days of analog, we could receive a perfect signal at my location 70 miles away with a decent antenna. And for a while, digital was perfectly receivable as well. I realize this is a significant distance from the transmitters but with Oklahoma's relativel...

Not looking to move to Za$$erbox, just hoping something from SD will provide some sort of update on their progress If there is an update we are able to share with you, then we will share it with you. At no point would we just suddenly forget to tell everyone about some great progress on the most pr...

Re: ATSC3 vs 8vsb Signal Quality

kyl416 wrote: Wed Mar 20, 2024 2:35 pm A signal quality that's bouncing around is usually a sign of multipath interference. You might have to adjust your antenna to find a sweet spot to aim for instead of directly at the tower.
about 15 degrees left or right of the tower will do depending on the direction of the signal flow.

Re: Help understanding Rogue ATSC 3.0 Channel?

Broadcast stations that have channels like OAN Plus, Newsmax 2, AWE Plus or Real America's Voice are actually carrying the audio and video feeds on their signal. In T2's case the audio and video is being delivered over the internet, the only thing on Sinclair's ATSC 3.0 feed is the data needed for ...

I'm not sure I understand what Ned is saying here, about the possible someday eventual maybe usability of an $20 ONN Android-based Widevine-based ATSC 3.0 box at Walmart that "will eventually get DRM ATSC 3.0 channels". Does that mean he's predicting that the device itself will someday be...
