@hailey Example: all ATSC 3.0 pilot stations in the US have all turned on encryption... on FREE TO AIR airwaves. The only way to record content is to decrypt it, breaking the DMCA anti-circumvention simply to record a program without encryption.
(What's worse is if you kept the original encrypted bitstream, the key CYCLES, so a key is only valid for a part of a stream. The only proper way to record is to decrypt.)
