    ATSC 3.0 DRM Encryption

    No box required Keyfax was a feed that WFLD received a data stream and sent the information out on a reader board over the air. A lot of stations did this because it was easier to keep the signal up all night as to pay an Engineer to shut the signal down. It was not available 24/7 in the market...

    Not sure about that. Chicago had three over the air subscription TV channels: 1 ON-TV which was carried on WSNS ch 44 which was owned by Video 44 at that time. 2 Spectrum which was carried on WFBN ch 68 owner by Focus 3 Sports Vision which was carried on WPWR ch 60 Now I know in the late 60’s...

    ATSC 3.0 DRM Encryption

    Hello, I don’t think DRM is set up to be a subscription TV service. The concern is copyrights For example if I DVR’ed a moving say on CBS. Then the local station has the right to delete it at any time. DRM is also used for copyrighted game and music. For example if you read the terms and...

    Eight CBS-owned The CW affiliates to become independent stations in September 2023

    Honestly being in that area since 1985 I do not remember it being on the air. Though it was ID on Fox 33 back then. Today the main channels you get with 30 feet tower is ch 11, ch 6 and ch 4 when conditions are good. Remember ch 45 analog was on the air a while before 9/10 bought it out. Then...

    I agree with what you are saying but once the station was sold the new owners 9/10 did not see a need for the station. Ch 45 was in the range of their microwave link which feeds 10. W31BO in general had a lot of transmission issues and really did not serve the area well.

    Alpena does not have the commercial market to support many TV stations but I wanted to clear a couple things up 1. The low power ch 31 was replaced with the ch 45 Vanderbilt high power transmitter. You can argue that this does not cover the market and I would agree. However from a commercial...

    In the early 70s there was a ch 55 low power that use to repeat WGTQ back in the day. That transmitter and tower are long gone and will never comeback to the area. As of today there are no construction permits to put any new stations on the air in that area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    One thing to keep in mind is WADL does not cover the whole Detroit market.The western suburbs and down river counties can only see it on cable or satellite. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Actually it looks like the company that has that patent will be bought out and that would resolve the issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DIRECTV unlikely to keep NFL Sunday Ticket

    Not true, for example: The Traverse City markets has 28 countries. All of networks over the air broadcast have high power repeaters 3 each per network which is at 100% coverage. In towns like Red Oak get TV with no issues but no internet. I would ask that look at the news there are many many...
