DRM encryption should not be allowed. Homeowners can legally use DVRs for home use. However DRM makes this extremely difficult & expensive. The only review I’ve seen which has some promise is the ZapperBox which is still under development and very expensive.

I am currently using Silicondust HD Homerun as a network turner and a Plex DVR. I am able to watch ATSC 1.0 & non DRM ATSC 3.0. I am only able to DVR ATSC 1.0.

In summary, ATSC 3.0 should be free, as easy to use as ATSC 1.0, and not add a lot of expense & inconvenience for public use.
With the singular exception of the first line, this entire post is in Greek.
