Great video and find. Thank you again.

[@NaterTater]

You're welcome!

[@michaelcarson8375]

Thanks for the video!! Given the cost of the box (~250 Single Tuner ~275 for dual tuner version in 6/2024) it should come with a guide info for free for FIVE years to offset the cost. Being 30/yr just for the guide is nuts. Thanks for the video. I'd like to see support for SATA hard drive direct connections.

[@gigasipke]

I saw that as well, on their webpage it states, watch tv without the monthly bill, well to get that guide it is effectively a $2.50 a month bill. It does say you can use it without buying the subscription but defeats the normal use case if you are getting this type of device. I've had multiple OTA Tivo's and having the lifetime option was the best. Even have a Bolt that someone gave me and they let the subscription expire, but it still works for me with only limited guide issues, I get the guide downloads but sometimes the names are blank on the guide but still work. I would suggest Zapperbox change their marketing about being "Free" and also add a lifetime subscription option.

Thanks Nater.. I wonder when 3.0 will become ubiquitous.. BTW, I have switched to T-Mo 5g and it is awesome. THANK you for talking me into it.. I was paying 75 a month for ATT 25MBs BSL

[@NaterTater]

Thank you for tuning in! It appears 3.0 is picking up more traction but it is still a slow roll out so will probably be years before its ubiquitous.

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

Jamaica still adopted ATSC 3.0

[@timmturner]

Nate, the less expensive and far superior (for my needs) HDHomeRun FLEX 4K supports ATSC 3.0 (2x 3.0 tuners and 2x 1.0 tuners) and isn't a beta product as it's had several years worth of firmware updates.

[@NaterTater]

It certainly has its pros and glad it works well for you. They don't support DRM ATSC 3.0 though.

[@timmturner]

@@NaterTater yeah it doesn't, I refuse to support any TV station which uses DRM so I'm not interested in it. Honestly I hope ATSC 3 adoption fails and we get a truly open format like the European adoption of DVB-T2.

[@ryanhuang8498]

@@timmturner DVB-T2 is not free of DRM. In Denmark,Sweden,and other countries I think Norway,there are channels that are behind a paywall with DRM too.

[@Clovergirl7934]

I have an OTA TiVo that I like only because I can record anything I can receive and the channel guide. Does thus unit do the same thing?

[@NaterTater]

yes very similar plus this supports the latest OTA TV signals. And it has KZbin built in too.

[@salsapete2132]

this week you reported the drm on next gen tv is free of encryption. Atsc 1.0 was weaker signals ever since they started encryption. This week that changed ever since the zapper box could decode. Now my telaves antenna is getting 65 to 90 channels the way it was supposed to. Thought you should know this is the Orlando area.

[@NaterTater]

@@salsapete2132 interesting!

[@themilehightriker8500]

Seems like a nice device, but at $275 it's nearly 3X the cost of competitors like Tablo 4th generation at $100. Also considering HD HomeRun device at $110. The Zapper price is just too steep to justify.

[@Bbabybear02]

Hi Nate. Zapperbox owner from.the Pittsburgh area. I see that you have local stations from.both the Flint and Detroit TV markets. Are you in between both areas?

[@NaterTater]

Yes, I get Lansing, flint, Saginaw and Detroit station. 48439 zip.

[@JOELTILSON]

Will the FCC get ATSC 3.0 DRM mess cleaned up? Its a disaster because of the excessive greed of TV stations.

[@NaterTater]

@@JOELTILSON we will see! Lots of debate going on

[@user-dh9lu4vy3k]

I have tried the Zinwell nextgen box.Did not pick up alot of channels that my tv tuner would.3.0 channels would freeze up every couple of minutes for a second or two.Any of these problems with zapperbox?

[@NaterTater]

nope

[@nicnguye]

You should have reviewed the box's channel guide and DVR features WITHOUT the subscription first, then onto what you get WITH the subscription.

[@teknerd]

Does this support encrypted channels?

[@NaterTater]

It does!

Boycott OTA DRM encrypted ATSC 3.0 NEXTGEN-TV because it is DRM dead. Long live ATSC 1.0 with true no restrictions OTA TV recordlings and no internet needed.

[@johnkwolf]

I can’t pay 300 dollars

[@ItsAlive111]

There’s nothing over the air that is worth $300 to record 😅

[@NaterTater]

I guess that depends on your local station availability. I get over 80 channels including local sports and more.

[@joe10117]

nor can I or $1 + to DVR $ 30 A YR NOT !!!

[@ryanhuang8498]

As more manufacturers enter the market,hopefully it gets cheaper. Less than $100 I would buy.

[@CommodoreFan64]

The mess with the DRM has soured me on ATSC 3.0, and my market of Augusta, GA does not even have it yet, also Anton Kepea who owns K03IM-D in Eugene, OR has proved the networks could broadcast multiple 4k streams on a single channel over ATSC 1.0, or high bitrate 1080p vs. the current 1080i standard, and most modern 4K TV's can decode the streams with a good signal propagation, and image quality, he just had to choose the right codecs, and fit them in the net bit rate of 19.39 Mbit/s of usable data. So ATSC 3.0 in my eyes nothing more than corps trying to get back control of OTA TV to force us on streaming, the FCC, & FTC have been hands off with it letting the corps sort out all the details, and again it does not look good for consumers, so I hope ATSC 3.0 falls flat on its face, and the FCC makes 4K over ATSC 1.0 the new standard!!! Edit: It also looks like LG/Zenith has pulled support for ATSC 3.0 after a patent troll won against them in court, so no more ATSC 3.0 tuners in their TV's going forward., and they were one of the biggest supporters of ATSC 3.0, so that's a huge blow to the ATSC 3.0 standard, and as others have said the price of all this is way to much, I'll stick to ATSC 1.0.

[@NaterTater]

All that might be valid and even if ATSC 3.0 falls flat it really doesn't change the use of this box. It does 1.0 and 3.0 so it's really just protecting you for either option.

[@davidjernigan8161]

As slow as the broadcasters are rolling out ATSC 3.0 it will be 2050 before the rollout is complete nationwide.

[@NaterTater]

Probably sooner than 2050 but yes it has been a slow roll out. Astc 1.0 has to be supported for no less than 3 more years from now but I imagine it will last much long. That said ASTC 3.0 is getting a lot more traction recently and I now get a handful of channels and they've been upping the quality recently too.

[@johnkwolf]

Too high pice

[@Phalanx443]

Wait a sec there Nate, we need three (3) items, 1) an Antenna at $150; 2) a Tuner/DVR at either $225-$275; and 3) an SSD/HDD at $65-$105. So a MINIMUM out lay of $440 (not counting shipping and taxes..)?? Oh, but the BEST PART - a $30 subscription fee, too!! You do realize we're hip deep in Bidenomics, right? Where EVERYTHING costs a crap-ton more than it ought to. Tell ya what, send me the $500 I'm gonna need to pay for this mess and I'll put it under a rock, where it will be safe from Biden's 87,000 new IRS agents. WTH have you been smokin'..

[@NaterTater]

I understand your point but I've also never paid for cable or satellite TV in my life. I know many that easily spend over $1000 a year on that. The math works out for me.

[@WatchRichRebuildsChannel]

@@NaterTater plus I would hate to give my local cable tv company a dime. Their prices are out of hand for what you get. 👍👍

Cutting the cord has ended up costing me more money per month.

[@SamA-bi4ly]

Hooked my new Zapperbox M1 up a little while ago. Not impressed at all. Gets fewer channels than the ATSC 1 tuner in the 7 year old LG 4K tv (not an OLED) it's connected to picks up. Picture quality is horrible. Returning for a refund. IMO do not buy one.
