I know it’s probably because there’s money to be made.

I just wish there was a good place to discuss IPTV providers that wasn’t full of sketchy resellers over promising and under delivering. You’d think they could at least sort out their EPGs as most I have used are like 80% complete at best.

Not asking for provider recommendations, not sure if that’s allowed here. Just wondering if y’all know of a place where that shit can be discussed in a neutral and honest environment?

    It’s usable until your local stations decide to encrypt. Then HDHomerun will not work.

      The decryption keys are on the HDHR itself… The HDHR calls home every few hours to pick up new keys.

        Except that’s not the experience everyone has. HDHR isn’t getting keys, because the networks don’t allow it for the HDHR devices.

          HDHR isn’t getting keys

          And yet mine does so somehow I’m special? I can open the streams just fine. No issues. In the other thread, I even linked you a project that does the ac4 transcoding. You think they’re also full of shit and that HDHR doesn’t work with ATSC 3.0?

          The Siliconlabs guys even advertise the product as ATSC3.0 compatible… Are they full of shit too?

            Are your stations actually encrypted? Because mine were working fine until recently as many stations encrypted as the NFL playoffs started.

            Or maybe you’re just s-p-e-c-i-a-l!
