The future of DRM could make NextGen TV require pay-per-viewing on OTA broadcasts, or premium channels. Just like the loss of many FTA satellite channels we could see OTA broadcasts become unwatchable without a subscription. Many ATSC 3.0 DRM Tuners Need Internet - which is a huge problem for privacy concerned consumers. Not connecting the television set to the Internet is the best way to defeat the networks ability to track your viewing habits. Consumers may find that their television station reception will not work unless the set is connected to the Internet. Requiring Internet connectivity just to watch television is more than unacceptable. No one should be forced to have Internet service or use their Internet service to access basic over the air television.Because of DRM and these restrictive tuners, if your Internet service goes out during an event such as severe weather, you wont be able to watch important weather information from local TV stations unless these deficiencies are corrected. '''Unless the DRM component is reduced or eliminated, the conversion to NextGen TV is not recommend and consumers should be encouraged to resist. Legislation may be necessary to mandate limits on what broadcasters can restrict with DMR and completely eliminate any Internet connectivity requirement for reception DRM decryption.'''
