Amen.

It was FM radio before that. Clear Channel (now iHeart) was allowed to swallow up a majority of terrestrial radio stations in nearly all markets in the late 90's. Now radio is sh*t.

Ballsy, considering OTA as we know it may be disappearing. No mention of ATSC 3.0 or DRM compatibility in the specs. A bargain at only $16,000! https://www.silicondust.com/commercial/mdu/ https://shop.silicondust.com/shop/product/mdvr-16t250/

In a nutshell, it won't do what I want it to do, right?

This is the manual. It loses me at page 84 when it refers to the "destination IP address."

Yes I think it can, but where is it sending it and how do you access it?

PS this is related to my previous thread from September about streaming directly from receivers to PC without transcoding. So far it seems only the Edision is capable of this. https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/streaming-from-receivers-to-pc.417956/ Hoping either the Ericsson or Arris...
