Luke, it’s important to note that these new rules for DRM 3.0 only apply if a channel is offered in both ATSC 1.0 and ATSC 3.0. Once ATSC 1.0 if phased out, none of these new rules will apply…

[@bixfisher]

I don't trust them. Until the FCC mandates that they MUST allow all DRM signals to be decrypted, recorded and handled just as the current 1.0 version is working, I'm not investing any money on equipment to receive these broadcasts.

[@tschaller6774]

Yes sneaky wording was included

[@benstandard]

DRM has got to go. No exceptions.

[@tlmass81]

I Heart Radio used to be known as Clear Channel Communications.

[@CordCuttersNews]

Thank you! I remembered it started with a c but blanked out on the name until I stopped recording.

[@johnturner7322]

Well I had one of those Airtv2 that like many others failed and was trashed after only about 2 years of use! So I went back to my old Channel Master DVR+. I do need to update my device but I think I will wait until 3.0 is clearly set so I can not only DVR OTA channels but also stream to my all my Roku devices.

[@rustyb1642]

the new DRM support is ONLY for those channels that are also broadcast currently in atsc 1.0. The language needs to say all channels broadcast. Also they will not let any non-certified software like Plex record.

[@AAa-qd8hb]

DRM A3SA (ATSC 3.0 Security Authority) is not a government agency. A3SA is a private organization and is not the FCC. Call your USA Government and stop the A3SA enforcing DRM on ATSC 3.0.

[@davebenedum9253]

Could Amazon be shuttering freevee to move the ad revenue to prime now that prime shows ads?

[@crosslink1493]

The ATSC 3.0 Situation - That's not going to happen. Right now the "industry group" is heavily slanted with media companies and they are viciously protecting their content any way they can, thinking everyone wants to start a 'pirate' streaming service, even the consumer who just wants to record something now to watch later. Unless the FCC steps in and breaks up the current mafia-style "family" control over it (remember the challenge to VCR recording off of TVs back in the 1980s?) I'd be surprised if the ATSC 3.0 switch comes in the next decade. And don't forget the television manufacturers stopped making ATSC 3.0 TVs due to the lack of market demand and the problems with software control and licensing.

[@AAa-qd8hb]

DRM ATSC 3.0 NEXTGEN-TV will fail until DRM is removed by law. ATSC 1.0 real TV freedom forever. Your old ATSC 1.0 TV video recordings will still play 100 years from now on something.

[@TumescentPuma]

Removed by the FCC or circumvented by the open source community.

[@benstandard]

DRM has to go. No exceptions.

[@dschirpke]

Agreed

[@AAa-qd8hb]

@@TumescentPuma The truth is: The FCC is not going to do anything about DRM. USA Congress is not going to do anything about DRM. TV stations control the Fake News about their TV business model so no help here. It is going to be a big long DRM fight that we can only delay for now by not buying ATSC 3.0 tuner boxes. Tell the people about the easy action they can do by themselves to stop/delay DRM on ATSC 3.0 TV without any effort. Do not buy OTA DRM ATSC 3.0 TVs or 3.0 tuners. This is a checkmate win because the FCC can not turn off ATSC 1.0 TV Stations until enough DRM 3.0 tuners have been bought and accepted. This is going to take many years. No one has solve the FCC problem of no government money for free DRM 3.0 TV tuner boxes because 1.0 TV turners and recorders will not work after that TV Station switches to 3.0 TV broadcasts. IMO.

[@TrentonMatthews]

Greetings luke, The words you were looking for, are "clear channel." in some ways, clear channel actually was a better name. at least if you live in colorado or one of the other states that starts with a c, it kind of made sense. the three c's.

[@joesandoval755]

Question for Luke, Do you think I should sign up for Paramount + before the merger? (annual plan so I grandfather myself into a lower rate)

[@kenyattaclay7666]

Here’s the difference between Apple & AOL, when AOL bought Time Warner AOL was still a new company & had zero experience running an entertainment company and probably expanded too fast. Apple has been around for 50 years and we’re an early investor in Pixar Studios & Jobs was on the board at Pixar until 2006 when Disney bought it. Also, Apple TV+ has been up and running for a few years now so they have experience in this space where AOL didn’t.

[@tschaller6774]

I was an early adopter of 1.0 but holding off on 3.0 it is no way near ready or cord cutter friendly.

[@johnkwolf]

FCC needs to step in and make it for the people not for the companies to make more money they going to turn people off and trying to push people to pay streaming

[@notajp]

I don’t understand why we suddenly need DRM on OTA tv, when we’ve got along just fine without it all these decades. I don’t plan to upgrade to 3.0 until I absolutely have no choice.

[@AAa-qd8hb]

Tell your USA Government about the Hostile Takeover of (OTA DRM ATSC 3.0 NEXTGEN-TV) issues listed below. OTA DRM ("over the air" Digital Rights Management) Encrypted TV Station's signals. Why? Some 3.0 tuners at this time require you stay on the internet to decode DRM 3.0 TV Stations. Why? 3.0 Currently no 4K and you only get the Simulcasted main channel and no sub channels. Channel Crawling = super slow channel changing (DRM 5 + seconds slow). No sound because of Dolby AC4 audio codec does not have a legal open source license to decode legally on many devices. Some 3.0 tuners have Out of sync audio to video problems. Private Home Networked OTA antenna tuner boxes like (Tablo TV box) can not get official certified approval for DRM ATSC 3.0 NEXTGEN-TV. Why? You may need non OTA home pay internet for updates and to unlock DRM encrypted ATSC 3.0 tv channels. Possible DRM restrictions on DRM ATSC 3.0 recordings and no viewing anywhere on any device with no sound. Emergency alert messages can not be received if DRM is blocking them. OTA DRM ATSC 3.0 TV will fail because the FCC is not going to turn off ATSC 1.0 TV stations for many years if not enough people buy 3.0 TVs and 3.0 boxes. No one has solve the problem of no government money for free DRM 3.0 TV tuner boxes because 1.0 TV turners and recorders will not work after that TV Station switches to 3.0 TV broadcasts. (Range and signal error correction) OR (more sub channels and near 4k picture) trade off problem. FCC is not forcing any 1.0 TV Stations to move over to 3.0 TV. So some TV stations will be on 1.0 and others will be on DRM 3.0. The FCC is only allowing OTA Simulcasts of the ATSC 1.0 main channel at this time on DRM ATSC 3.0 NEXTGEN-TV. DRM ATSC 3.0 is a not finished product and is a work in progress mix of unproven ideas that has never gotten full FCC approval at this time. Software updates for 3.0 tuner boxes may be needed for changes made to the unfinished and future added new official ATSC 3.0 standards modules. Patent License problems. LG no longer sells TVs with ATSC 3.0 tuners. Some 3.0 TV tuners companies may go out of business or stop updates leaving you with no DRM or software updates. OTA ATSC 3.0 is better but is not perfect and still can be affected by weak tv signals: (distance, weather, planes, trees, buildings, trucks, poor antenna, etc). FCC rules that 5 percent of old ATSC 1.0 coverage area does not need to be covered anymore = (SHORTER RANGE). Viewing zone outside of your 15 minute city or town could be blocked. Your TV viewing habits could be tracked by your serial number or IP address. ATSC 3.0 is updatable until it is not updatable without new hardware tuners (ATSC 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0......). Some of these 3.0 TV issues may be fixed over time. This is only some of the mess with DRM ATSC 3.0 TV. This is my opinion why DRM ATSC 3.0 TV will fail. IMO. Stay on OTA 1.0 TV until DRM is removed from OTA ATSC 3.0 by law. It is the people versus the hostile takeover by private DRM 3.0 TV stations for control over the USA public airwaves. IMO 2024. .

Whoever purchases Paramount better milk it fast to recoup their money. AI video production is going to wipe out the whole studio production system over the next couple of decades. I'm not even sure their IP will be worth much, Star Trek is probably going to enter the public domain during the same time frame.

[@davidframe1613]

The problem is with Amazon freevee movies and TV shows they're not very good especially the ones where you only get a one episode trial. I think the people making the decisions to make these shows don't have the pulse of the customer, they're way off. I just had Netflix and all the originals are really bad in my opinion and I know others might like them but I didn't will be hard for these companies to grow with that kind of content. The Mario movie was great and so wasn't the Jennifer Lawrence movie but they weren't made by Amazon or Netflix. Seems like the streaming services basically just subsidized bad content.

[@LeonLowe-qs1sg]

Disney are content driven. They could do with more intellectual property.

[@kenmdem]

There are two Apples, Apple Corps and Apple INC. Apple Corps has it own film and television studio. Apple Corps was created by the members of the Beatles back in 1967. If Apple INC buys or try to buy Paramount, Apple Corps will sue them. It Apple Corps decides to buy Paramount? They may likely do what Sony did with Columbia Pictures when they bought them by keeping everyone at their current position.
