Big ATSC 3.0 Update

If I need the internet in order to watch TV, why wouldn't I just use the internet and not watch TV at all.

It works for me. It brings up a pdf popup file. Maybe you have a blocker?

Works fine here. But does open a PDF reader.

Maybe time to update your Timex Sinclair? If it tries downloading anything then its the PDF file.

Great Reply from Lon!

I thought it was great myself. I only hope the FCC listens.

Luckily my area will most likely never get ATSC 3.0.

Then you may have no OTA at all. Not sure that's "lucky."

I did not know they plan on killing ATSC 1.0. Will this be done in my lifetime (I am 74)?

How dangerously do you live?

I'd say so, yes.

If they get there way it will be very soon. They want ATSC 1.0 out of the way so they can force ATSC 3.0 (with DRM intact) down our throats.

My feeling is that ATSC 1.0 is going to be around for a while. The Nextgen coalition want the FCC to sunset ATSC 1.0 broadcasts by 2028 in major markets but I don't believe the FCC will do that. They are more likely to allow broadcasters to turn off their ATSC 1.0 simulcast at their own discretion. But with the lack of devices that support ATSC 3.0 I don't see many broadcasters doing this. They would be shutting down their audience and I don't see them doing that.
