Given the communications act of 1932, they should not be encrypting broadcast data.. that's OUR airwaves they're using, and we give them a license..
Gray owned stations are now going encrypted, with no plans to go back. Seems Hearst and Gray are in competition on who can encrypt all of their channels first! WSMV in Nashville, TN is now encrypted. They give this BS about safety, and such. But it’s to block non-DMA reception (Geo Fencing), recording, ad skipping, etc. Perhaps even subscription costs at some point. Though they say it will always be free.
It seems NBC is leading the move toward encryption.
our private data that will be mined from watching ATSC 3.0 broadcasts will be as valuable or maybe more valuable then the ads they will surely curate and serve to us, which they will charge those companies for airtime. all these devices have internet access so “phone home” to the broadcasters will be as easy as anything. They would even know if you muted the audio on certain commercials, and if you turned it up on others. they will easily build profiles on your watching habits, and if they link to the already existing profiles we all have from our phones, browser history, alexa, google homes, spotify/music in the car or working out, etc… it really is like 1984.
Scripps broadcasting quietly bought TabloTV company in 2022. Hmm… Why would a broadcaster want to control what a home DVR is able to do?
