Exactly.. I mean this looks like a cool service, but not if I have to buy a new TV to get it.. I already feel hosed on the ATSC 3.0 tuner I bought from SiliconDust.
The fact that any over the air broadcast station is encrypted is an abomination to begin with. These are local TV stations that nobody is able to watch. What's the point?
I sure wish I hadn't dropped $200 on my SiliconDust Flex 4K ATSC 3.0 tuner when it came out. Here we are, December 31, 2023 and the thing is pretty much a brick when it comes to decoding encrypted 3.0 stations.
Anybody wanna buy it??
Here is another new tuner in New Mexico, San Antonio Mountain. All appear to be translators:

I see KOAT in Albuquerque has a tuner at their studio location. It appears to be tuning a station in Arizona, 167 miles away. Can that be accurate? NM doesn't get much, if any, tropo activity.
