Here is the latest update that Ned posted on January 23, 2024 on the Silicondust forum concerning their HDHomerun ability to deal with ATSC 3.0 encryption. Ned is a spokesperson for the Silicondust forum. Will unencrypted ATSC 3.0 channels play on my Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, Mac? Yes...

Columbus, Ohio WSYX (ABC) aired a 30 second commercial for Nextgen TV on Sunday night 6:30 PM. The commercial urges viewers to score a touchdown by buying a Nextgen TV to enjoy lifelike video, stadium quality sound, and middle of the action. They reference the following website...

Cable and Satellite DVR receivers allow the consumer to skip commercials as long as they do not watch live. Dish even has Auto-hop for their Prime Time Anytime channels (NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX) that automatically skips commercials from 7 PM to 11 PM. Of course you are paying your provider for the...

The FCC requires that the basic channels remain free to maintain their license but broadcasters are allowed to eliminate trick plays so the consumer has to watch commercials or they can limit recording. They could also bundle premium channels that would be Pay per view. Sent from my iPhone...

Consumer advantages include: 1) Orthogonal frequency-division (OFDM) will provide a much better signal with less interference eliminating issues such as multipath. 2) Better compression from 19.4 Mbps to 57 Mbps allowing higher resolution and HDR. 3) Can be received on mobile devices. 4)...

Televisions that have ATSC 3.0 tuners are able to watch the encrypted ATSC 3.0 broadcasts. The recently released ADTH ATSC 3.0 tuner is also able to decrypt the Encrypted ATSC 3.0 broadcasts. But none of these are DVR. Keep in mind that no DVR device can currently decrypt the encrypted ATSC...

Here is the latest update on July 7 from Silicondust concerning their attempt to implement Decryption. The officially approved way to do DRM on a video gateway product is to convert the encryption to DTCP2. We 100% can do this but it isn't useful if your goal is to watch TV. DTCP2 rules do not...

The point is that with ATSC 3.0 encryption the signal must be decrypted by the tuner unlike HDCP which encrypts the digital video output. So if the tuner does not have the correct decryption you won’t even have a video signal to decrypt and capture.

Analog video, both composite (yellow) and component (red, green, blue) can be captured and recorded. Digital video (hdmi) can use HDCP to prevent capture. That is why broadcasters want everyone to use hdmi for video output. There are devices that will remove the HDCP component from the HDMI...

That is why I have no interest in the Silicondust AC 3.0 box. But I am considering getting a new Sony TV. The new Sony TV’s all have ATSC 3.0 tuners. The ATSC 3.0 tuner internally converts AC4 audio to 5.1 AC3. Plus encryption is not a problem with TVs. It should also help my reception from both...

Silicondust has started testing their HDHomerun ATSC 3.0 box for Nextgen certification on June 3, 2023. The testing appears to be going well. They will be adding parental controls to satisfy the Nextgen standards. Once it passes all the tests they will be able to sell their box as Nextgen...

I don’t believe that ATSC 3.0 is going to die. The full adoption may take a while but the advantages that it offers in compression and multipath reception over ATSC 1.0 will eventually win out. Plus since it has a digital component it allows broadcasts to mobile devices. I do believe that...

From the description the ADTH-Tolka box is not a DVR device but simply a ATSC 1.0 and ATSC 3.0 tuner. $119.99 is a lot of money for a device that can not record broadcasts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is now June and Silicondust is still unable to play encrypted ATSC 3.0 broadcasts. One of the issues is knowing the date of the broadcast so the broadcaster can implement expiration requirements. To do this they are going to change keys every few days, and the app will have to send the...

ATSC 3.0 DRM currently works on TVs that have an ATSC 3.0 tuner. It is the set top ATSC 3.0 boxes that currently can not decode the ATSC 3.0 DRM broadcasts. Silicondust is working on their box to receive DRM broadcasts. Zapperbox may need to exchange their existing units. Tablo has delayed their...

So far, Hisense is the one manufacturer that publicly supports SL-HDR1. Sinclair used some LG sets in its Wynn demo that Aitken said it was able to make work with a firmware update, and he believes the same update could be feasible with other sets. Tony Bozzini, head of business development for...

It was a minimum of 5 years and everyone believes that time frame will be extended. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here is an interesting article describing the current status of ATSC 3.0 https://tvnewscheck.com/tech/article/for-nextgen-tv-cheaper-receivers-bigger-markets-and-more-hdr-are-next/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

According to Nick who is a moderator on the Silicondust ATSC 3.0 forum, the firmware update will not require that their boxes be returned. Zapperbox will require their boxes to be returned to allow DRM. The Antennaman is the person who claimed that both manufacturers would require their boxes to...

The only current advantage of ATSC 3.0 is that the signal handles multipath. If you are having issues receiving an ATSC 1.0 broadcast signal ATSC 3.0 may work for you. Also some broadcasters are using 1080P which gives a slight improvement over 1080i. As far as I have read the encryption doesn’t...

According to the Antenna-man video the following markets have utilized DRM encryption of their ATSC 3.0 broadcast. Miami, Florida Orlando, Florida Baltimore, Maryland Cincinnati, Ohio, Birmingham, Alabama Louisville, Kentucky Greensboro, North Carolina New Orleans, Louisiana Sent from my...

The problem is that although Sinclair is using HDR the type of HDR they are using can not be utilized by any of the current TVs. Here is the explanation. Sinclair-owned broadcast stations are now encoding their content with SL-HDR1 (aka 'Technicolor HDR') metadata added. Sinclair claimsthat...

The key sentence is the following. The single biggest factor in the success of this transition is almost completely out of our control – it is up to the consumer electronics industry to build the devices that consumers will use to access our signals. They need to develop a low cost ATSC 3.0...

That makes me feel better. There are at least two SGCI Holdings LLC. One in Hong Kong and one in New York. Hopefully they are not related.

I was watching soccer on WBNS TV today and they were required to announce the filing for public comments. I then googled WBNS transfer of control and found the Following FCC document: https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/public/tv/publicFacilityDetails.html?facilityId=71217 They have...
