I think you're capturing it correctly, and my mention of the firmware update as a trigger for this post may have been imprecise. Most user configurations shouldn't expect a DRM update anytime soon, and for those that do, I believe the client app will be the enabler rather than tuner firmware. However, I'm asking about the one specific use case where activity was confirmed in the Feb2024 update (stickied at the top of this thread), but there seems to be an aversion to providing ANY level of update and shaming of those who ask, as if they haven't read the FAQ.Freekick123 wrote: Sun Jun 29, 2025 4:28 pmAs I understand how this works, the SD hardware only needs to tune to the ATSC 3.0 station. The HD Homerun is ATSC 3.0 certified to do this. It would then pass the stream on to a decoder app. The actual decription would happen in the HDHomerun app and not the SD hardware. Therefore firmware updates to the HDHomerun devices won't fix DRM. Also the streaming hardware that holds the app has to work with Widevine. Not all the streaming devices support Widevine. If I'm wrong, please correct me.nblair5 wrote: Sat Jun 28, 2025 8:18 am I scrolled back and it has been 4 months since the last time someone politely asked for an update and was admonished for being high maintenance. I saw a firmware update drop this week but it doesn't look like it has anything related. Has SD just moved on?
"Will DRM encrypted ATSC 3.0 channels play on my Android or Fire TV device?
Using a gateway product - we expect it will be possible in the future but it is not possible today. The Google Widevine DRM decryption is possible but there are other requirements that are draft/incomplete at this time. There is activity happening."
