This adds an uncertain future to OTA, but I don't think you can say it's implemented widely yet.
Here's a list of current ATSC 3.0 channels, with an indicator for the encrypted ones: https://www.rabbitears.info/market.php?request=atsc3 https://www.rabbitears.info/market.php?request=atsc3
For now, most network affiliates that air an ATSC 3.0 signal must simulcast the primary video programming stream in ATSC 1.0 format. So most primary channels are still available without DRM. [1]

- drewg123 3y agoIn my market (Miami) almost everything is encrypted on ATSC 3. Do you know how long ATSC 1 will be up?
- RF_Enthusiast 3y agoNo, I don't. It looks like the FCC is going to let the market decide on this one. The sunset date for ATSC 1.0, meaning the date that stations can choose to turn off their ATSC 1.0, is 17 July 2027 [1]. Unfortunately, I feel that content providers have a financial incentive to discourage OTA reception. I'd take that 2027 date seriously.
