BACKGROUND
Not sure if this is a coincidence or not, but I installed the latest firmware (20230323) on my HDHR5-4K and performed a channel scan.
DRM PROTECTED CHANNELS
I noticed that some of the ATSC 3.0 channels in my area are now marked as DRM protected, including one channel which I had previously been able to watch.
I tried using both SD HR and Channels apps on various platforms (iOS, tvOS, macOS)
QUESTION
I know there is not much we can do about this, but I was just wondering if there is a longer term plan to support DRM protected channels? Or just add a filter option for DRM channels?
