Sounds like you and the SD team know what needs to be done. But once the DRM hurdles for watching & recording are overcome,
1. Will current SD ATSC 3.0 'gateway' devices be able to be upgraded, or will it require a new device?
Firmware upgrade + new record engine release + app updates.

2. Will the 'gateway' devices like the 4K Flex function than like the Quatro 'Gateway' ATSC 1.0 device does today with the same features like 'time shifting'?
That is our target. Some features like overlapping recordings may be an issue.

3. Will an internet connect be required at all times? This could be a problem for people who either don't have the internet, or poor/slow internet connections.
Internet will be required to start playback of any DRM protected recording.

4. Plex and Channels have been great advocates for SD 'gateway' devices, are you working with them or keeping them in the loop on your progress?
Plex and Channels are great. Unfortunately we can't share DRM information that isn't public.
