I still don't see how merely having a SoC from a now officially banned Chinese mfr. Without the necessary communication I/O hardware and firmware running on a consumer video gateway device. Can possibly be a security threat to anything?

And if there's no actual decryption of content to take place ...

I wonder if the reason the FCC appears to be stymied on this issue over DRM. Is due to the ambiguous position the broadcasters are taking. Operating like a pay TV service transmitting scrambled TV signals over the public airwaves on one hand. But then operating like a free OTA TV service on the ...

Nah ...

Having the same issue here in So. LA with my HDHR-4K "Unable to play channel No data received" for KTTV (FOX) and KCOP's 3.0 broadcasts right now.

However, in addition to my TV's OTA 3.0 tuner. My (with the moderators permission) ********* M1 is also receiving those channels and does not ...

Saw some discussion on the "Channels" app with AppleTV and wanted clarification.

If I have a HDHR 4k Flex --> router --> AppleTV --> Channels App, can I watch the DMR 3.0 channels live?

Or was this being discussed only as a preferable 1.0 setup...


There are NO apps that will decrypt DRM ...

I guess it's still just a simple case of ...

The A3SA approves and defines the necessary technical specifics for gateway devices to receive DRM encrypted broadcasts.

Progress = 0%

Therefore, SD developing and releasing a fix for it. ...
Progress = 0%

So nothing to report...

To my eyes, the ATSC 3.0 version, while NOT 4K, is a better picture than the 1.0 version.
Probably many variables are involved, but in the Indianapolis market, that appears to be the case.


Haven't looked at your specific market, but the 3.0 signals probably are better looking due to the ...

If your attitude is wanting answers, I wouldn't look for them here as until it actually happens there isn't much to mention that hasn't already been said a million times so there is no reason to ask yet again.


This. A million times over. Reading this thread is like reading posts from ...

You'll have to forgive me, but I really don't see anything I said contrary to others like the previous poster "RickD_99" just said. And based on the previous recent frank and rather terse statements on the A3SA and DRM situation NedS just made.

But I ...

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 ...

If this release is BS, why doesn't SD issue it's own press release stating this, and file a complaint to the ATSC committee and the FCC stating that their PR announcement failed to provide the requirements for a gateway DVR? Try putting the heat on the A3SA and call them out so consumers know ...

Before everyone gets too excited, be sure to read the fine print that was buried at the end - bold emphasis mine:

What they are saying here is that so long as the ATSC 1.0 broadcast is out there they'll give you this functionality. After that is the rug pull where all of the restrictions they ...

That looks encouraging! Now that they are over 14 months into encryption, they finally release a solution for set-top makers?


The big questions are:
1. Has SD received copies of the new specifications?
2. Are the ...

How is A3SA able to prevent the recording of any of the OTA (free public airwaves) programming if the courts have already ruled that consumers can record content for personal use? Isn't this the same reason we have DVR's today?
