Draft of my comments to the FCC: See the video for more info about commenting to FCC.

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.

Link to additional video with information about replying to the FCC request for public comments.
Details/examples and how to reply are in the videos and descriptions / comments of the videos.

Tell your friends & family about this even if they don’t watch free tv because this will make the paid services keep lower prices.
DRM is encrypting which makes everything difficult & expensive.
