DRM Support

I noticed your getchannels faq states you are working on DRM recordings is this true? These forum post contradict your faq.

The FAQ has been updated, thanks. DRM support is not possible in Channels.

The sources like HDHomeRun will each have a unique hardware key and also get a key from the internet. They existing HDHomeRuns with ATSC 3.0 capabilities will get a firmware update in the not too distance future. Unfortunately, the APPs like Channels will need to be key aware as they must maintain/respect DRM and they must work together to ensure that (thus firmware, app, and ui updates to app will be required).

The beauty of ATSC 3 is I can now pick up a very strong signal with a small attic antenna from Tampa which is 60 miles away and of course there is the promise of 4K, HDR, superior audio, etc.

The bummer is one by one the stations are encrypting.
