IMO this encryption can be interpretated as "you are supposed pay to view this channel". They could have foregone encryption with just a flag except that it would be trivial for any Aliexpress atsc hdmi dongle to simply forget that about that flag.
That being said yeah they probably require hdcp which.. Well you can find HDMI splitter (that goes from 4k to 4k on hdmi1 and 1080p on hdmi2) that "simply forget" about hdcp 1&2. (no idea whether that's on purpose but that's not the reason I bought it in the first place)
- dylan604 3y ago> IMO this encryption can be interpretated as "you are supposed pay to view this channel" Growing up, I didn't have cable and only had OTA networks. This was before FOX was a network at all, so VHF was only the Big 3. During the day, they only aired soaps, so it was the UHF bands that offered anything different. One of those was TBN, and I would tune in for laughs. One day, Paul Crouch said that if you were watching his program "right now" and did not send him money, you were stealing from him. So your "you are supposed to pay for this channel" is not too far off from the beliefs of some of the broadcasters.
