Encryption

2) Within the first page or two, or perhaps the last one (that's all I read because 32 pages of forum posts are too many), it was mentioned that if the channel doesn't tune, it will drop back to the ATSC 1.0 feed, but in my case, this is not happening.

That is for scheduled DVR recordings, not manual tuning. For manual tuning, it shows you the status of what you clicked on.

For DRM channels, you may wish to remove it from your listing for now (red X in the channel editor).

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 ATSC 3.0 channels. DRM only works for ATSC 3.0 with a direct connection via HDMI.

Or to be more specific...

Currently DRM encrypted ATSC 3.0 channels may only be received by TV sets with 3.0 capable off-air tuners. Or through a few 3.0 Nexgen certified STB devices on the market that connect by HDMI cable to a TV set.

A3SA had only provided a path forward for Android platforms at the moment. I have been given the impression that a non-technical issue/disagreement is currently blocking progress on that. Nick is still working on a public shame letter addressed to the A3SA and other relevant authorities.

We remain hopeful that the A3SA might yet come to their senses.

So, it's almost been a month since this nugget. Not that a "strongly worded letter" is usually a good sign, but anything happening here?

I'm losing hope and increasingly thinking I'm just saving space for V2 of the 6 tuner cablecard debacle.

I agree.

Does this mean anything at all in regards to SiliconDust/DRM?

One blurb in the article mentioned this, and I'm not sure what it means (if anything) for folks like me who really wish my Silicon Dust 4K tuners could handle DRM.

"For off-air applications, it is possible to use inexpensive integrated receiver/decoders (IRDs) that do not offer decryption but are equipped with encrypted IP stream outputs via DASH/ROUTE or the recently approved ALP A/330 Link-Layer Protocol, it said.
The capability enables ATSC 3.0 compliance for IRDs used for streaming platforms, such as HDHomeRun, with LogServer managing the DRM aspects for all channel sources, it said."

Mediaproxy appears to have certs for monitoring, diagnostics, etc, for station engineers and such. It's not something that home users/customers can use.

Thanks for the answer.
That echoes what I heard on the AVS forum. Hopefully you guys can figure out a way to break DRM on an affordable add-on device for each TV. I would go for that.
