I’d like to ask whether you plan to support ATSC 3.0 with DRM in the future. As you know for sure a competitor is already offerring this capability, yet my previous posts on the topic have been removed. It might be a slightly different implementation for the moment but it works, and that is the goal.

As a customer, I’m concerned that most ATSC 3.0 channels are now encrypted, which means the current device can’t access them. This makes the product less useful, since I’m essentially forced to fall back to ATSC 1.0 even after paying more for NextGen TV compatibility.

A clear statement or roadmap from your team would be extremely helpful, especially something beyond the recurring message that encrypted ATSC 3.0 content “won’t work.” I’m hoping you have plans to address this soon.

Thank you for your attention.

Yes. We joined ATSC-org... ATSC-org understands the issues and recognizes gateway devices as an important use case.

There are no products that can stream DRM encrypted channels to brand name player devices. Without rule changes and/or broadcast changes no device can stream to Roku, XBox, Apple TV, LG, iOS, Windows or Mac in a compliant way. One post was removed for violating forum rules, not because of the product mentioned.
