No DRM

Until ATSC 3.0 is forced on everyone, at least if you’re in the USA :/

ATSC 3.0 is the next version of the protocol used for over-the-air digital TV in the USA. It uses H.265 instead of MPEG2 which allows for 4K TV at similar bitrates to what 1080p uses today.

However, it also supports DRM and encryption, and all the major networks are already encrypting their broadcasts. TVs need an internet connection to get the decryption key, and can’t store it in a decrypted format.

If you rely on antenna TV, please write to the FCC in opposition of the encryption: blog.lon.tv/…/the-fcc-responds-to-my-atsc-3-encry…

If you’re not in the USA… Just ignore me lol
