Encryption

[Cabal]

for another example of the failures of atsc3.0 drm check out this thread ...

It shows how atsc 3.0 drm is able to be bypassed using a3sa approved converter boxes.

I think it's well known at this point that existing converter boxes are not enforcing HDCP. Supposedly that requirement will be enforced in the future when things get even more locked down than they are today.

If a network decided to do an encrypted channel that required people to buy a converter box to view, that is not considered broadcasting under FCC policy. There is no ambiguity.

If all 4 networks decide to encrypt their primary channels, informing TV manufacturers that they have to build the converter box into their TVs, does that make everything ok?

Samsung has decided to forgo ATSC 3.0 tuners in its OLED TVs for another year.
