Just updated my HDHomeRun Flex 4K to this latest firmware.

It's setting it up for the eventual encryption firmware release. Lots of needed interim stuff in there. SiliconDust was blind-sided by this encryption of REGULAR OTA channels, just like the rest of us. They had figured that eventually, there would be some sort of PAID subscriptions of some sort, but never figured they'd encrypt free to air channels.

Its not all SD fault. A3SA hasn't given anyone what they need for DRM yet. SD as (@MikeBear pointed out) is doing the necessary background work to get the cert to be able to use the DRM keys once provided by A3SA. I don't think this was for a lack of trying.

SD should not have implied that the DRM would be fixed with the next update. My point is dumb anyway since nothing is being broadcast in 4K anyway.
