This is a total aside but you've reminded me: I couple of years ago I switched from cable TV to just using broadcast and bought a new HD Homerun tuner capable of receiving 4K OTA broadcasts. Imagine my shock that these new broadcasts are DRMed. HDHomerun can't decode them. I don't blame them, I'm absolutely incensed that OTA broadcasts have been allowed to start using DRM. |

We're back to the 1970's and early 80's when some OTA channels were allowed to charge subscriptions.
The difference this time is that the new decoders send information /back/ to the TV station, so you can be further tallied, tabulated, profiled, and collated.
Which is the precise reason I switched to OTA. What I watch is my business, not theirs.
