DRM error Shield TV - paulbates

- New here, my first post so please be kind.
I have other tech products with forums and there is always an impossibly long thread, like this one. I skimmed to get the idea and a question

I just got a 4k. I play through a 4k firestick or late model iPad Pro and dvr to my office windows pc. It all works very well, almost 40 channels, getting a lot of content and liking the app... with one exception channel:

Detroit 2 Fox identifies HEVC DRM on the tuner, it has no alternative non 4k channels like some other broadcasters that I can recieve . I get the DRMish protection messages on my ipad and firestick from them. Haven't tried HDHR app on windows as the office computer is not a good viewing location.

TLDR: Looking to confirm that its the legal/DRM plumbing upstream of SD that take a dim view of a device that can make DRM copies of their content? That's why Widevine, PlayReady, FairPlay support is kinda irrelevant?

It would be nice if the DVR could be certified to just not record or record blank for those channels.

Not ranting, looking to confirm that I get it.

Currently DRM protected channels can't be viewed using HDHR until an act of god from the A3SA or the government makes it illegal for DRM encryption on over the air broadcasts.. There are tons of forum posts and also videos on youtube about this issue.
