I thought that they weren't going forward with ATSC 3.0. I doubt many people have TVs that have such a tuner in them and that there is no standard established yet. Isn't the encryption causing this to be delayed anyway?

It reads as if she's dissenting, but it was a "unaninous" decision?

I'm truly confused here.

I'm truly confused here.

So is the FCC apparently. They seem ready to give the providers anything they want.

ALL they need to do, is demand the removal of DRM, and ATSC 3.0 will take off like a Space-X rocket. The non-exploding ones, instead of the exploding ones...
