Should we just turn in our cable cards already? We are renting them monthly.

With the current DRM issue, on Spectrum I can only watch about a dozen channels which are almost all local news and sports.

I might as well just rent another cable box.



For me, its a double whammy
Verizon just ...

I wasn't aware of that part "new installs"


That just means that it's possible for some people to have an old install on Android that still has a working certificate. The local cert works for about a year, but it depends on when it was renewed. Soon, even those users will have an issue ...

My suggestion in the mean time would be a mini windows 10/11 pc.






I thought about "mini windows 10/11 pc." which is good for someone like me,
but the other 2 elder family members, not so much

I need a simeple TV box/remote type setup for them, nothing too technical.

Plus there is the ...

Nothing android you can get... currently what is required is to have a valid key which is typically valid for a year after install... so if you got that key renewed before the issue was up it still might be working for a few more months but Google messed things up and any new install or key ...

I have been using HDHomerun for many years, but the ONN boxes (3 of them)

HDHomerun and DRM Issues --


Is there ANY Andrtoid Box that will allow to play DRM channels right now?

As since many others like ONN boxes, can no longer play DRM, since the Google debacle/changes months back.


I am looking for alternatives to be able to view DRM Channels using Android,
or any ...

Microsoft has release a LOT OF bugs in many of their patches/updates in the last year
I was just reading an article the other day.

Worst number of bugs in years

Hmmm Thats odd the HDHR wont play on your Win 11 box

Does it generate an error of any kind?

Try installing MS DVD Player app

I remember some years back having an issue with DRM
And after Installing the Microsoft DVD app
everything worked fine ( That was with Win 10 at the time)

If my memory ...

I just tried out of curiosity, to install the FIOS app on my Moto Android phone,
and it installs but doesn't play. Generates some error,

Not that I would watch TV on my phone,
I think that is a bit rediculous, with such a small screen.

I had a feeling the issue was much deeper
And that Google is at the core of it

One of a few reasons why:

About a week ago I had noticed my Windows Pro desktop PC was no longer playing DRM channels
( didn't notice when it started because i use my Android TV ONN boxes daily, and not the PC)

BUT my 2 ONN Android TV Boxes were still working

Today, in the last hour or so, I now have lost those from being ...

What you have mentioned regarding 2 years ago in regards to the update for Windows, and iOS, makes sense to me, expiration.

I had ( as many other did too) experience the most recent Anroid Certificate?DRM issue,
and at that time my Windows App had no problem with playing DRM channels, but the ONN ...
