DRM Channels Blocked Overnight
DRM Channels Blocked Overnight
Today is March 8th as of this morning I can watch any DRM protected channels from my COX Cable provider on two of my devices but all was working for years as of yesterday. I have two Google Chromecast Dongles and also the HDHOMERUN App on my Android Phone. The Google device that works is on the same WiFi network as the App on the Android Phone that does not work. The other Google device that stopped working is hardwired with an ethernet cable to the same router serving WiFi. I have tried to update the HDHOMERUN Apps but it seems I have the latest devices loaded. I reset and cleared the data from the HDHOMERUN Apps but still only one Google Device works and others will not access DRM channels. I can view all non-DRM channels on all devices.

None of the Android devices at the moment can do DRM of any KIND.adlsl wrote: Sat Mar 08, 2025 7:03 pm Today is March 8th as of this morning I can watch any DRM protected channels from my COX Cable provider on two of my devices but all was working for years as of yesterday.

Re: DRM Channels Blocked Overnight
Actually your reply is not correct. One of my Android Devices (a Google TV Chromecast Dongle) works fine on all the DRM channels. The other identical Google TV dongle does not. Also none of my Android devices or WIN10 HDHOMERUN work on DRM channels.
Perhaps the one Google Device I have that is working has an unexpired certificate?

Re: DRM Channels Blocked Overnight
This is now a recurring nightmare. If the device won't work without external APIs or services, the device is basically useless. We aren't stealing TV and we are investing in what may be considered non-traditional methods of delivery albeit legitimate.
I know I said this once before but I'm much closer to the end of the road with the cablecard device. If it can't reliably work, I'm not going to keep paying Spectrum for the few DRM-free channels. Time is ticking...

Having the same issue with PRIME. Now my non-DRM channels won’t load. Did a reboot and still nothing. Slowly had issues 4 days ago with some of my Shield Pros and now all but one work. It’s definitely seems like a certificate issue with the API.jasondeanny wrote: Tue Mar 11, 2025 5:56 pm This is now a recurring nightmare.

Same for me on Samsung tablets and Ultra smartphone AGAIN! Did all the historic steps to correct - rescan, reload, etc. with no change. Agree it must be API AGAIN.
