It depends. According to the link this lock was supported for over ten years, and the landscape for this type of device was pretty Wild West back then. There are a lot of devices that never even got that much support. Today, give me any Hom

Yeah, I grew up on a rural OTA antenna with one clear channel and two dodgy ones. The live experience was better for zoning out. That’s about it. You had no choice. Today I can spend 20 minutes just browsing and never settle on anything. I’
