@mildsunrise I guess the only way to "fix" this would be a completely new standard.
@tedivm those standards already exists for ages: Like the #CI specification of #DVB and all the subsequent #CommonScramblingAlgorithm-adding key generation algorithms from #BISS-E to the (non-CSA - based) #PowerVu.
And with neither #NetNeutrality nor #CableCard being enforced exprect them to forcibly bundle those things with shit Recievers that one can only rent.
Also whilst this may impact spectrum use on terrestrial more, it's impact on Satellite and Cable is higher.

This is amazingly fucked up. Broadcasters are trying to pass a new standard for broadcasting that allows them to encrypt their broadcasts. This means that people who use antennas to watch television will have to pay to upgrade their equipment and then pay on top of that to actually watch. The airwaves are a limited resource that broadcasters get free access to. This amounts to a huge policy change that steals a common resource for corporate gains. https://blog.lon.tv/2023/07/10/the-fcc-responds-to-my-atsc-3-encryption-complaint-they-want-to-hear-from-you/
