for the last two years when i tuned to WTAE 104.1 pittsburgh i got the message "cannot play channel" content protection required. for the last few months now i've been getting the message "cannot play channel" the broadcaster has applied usage restrictions that prevents viewing/r...

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...

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,

you hit the nail right on the head.

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...

about 15 degrees left or right of the tower will do depending on the direction of the signal flow.

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...

cord-cutter news is a mouth-piece of the broadcasters.

Does anyone know if these channels are actually live? I did a channel scan today and didn't detect any ATSC 3.0 channels. Yes they are live as of yesterday. 102.1 WBBM-NG 105.1 WMAQ-NG 109.1 WGN-NG 132.1 WFLD-NG 166.1 WGBO-NG Thanks for confirming. I guess I need open a support ticket. even if you ...

I wish SiliconDust could build an Android player module that could be DRM certified by A3SA to provide the secure path from tuner to HDMI output. It would only be the player and all the controls to the player would be handled by an Android app which would not be required to be certified by A3SA. So...

If the device has to get the content from the internet anyway - just publish the URLs on a known Internet site Local stations only have the right to show network and syndicated programming in their viewing area, which is why the live streams on their websites only carry newscasts, local programming...
