The software I’m using in this video is currently beta software. Although it’s in beta, this release is very stable, and is accessible in the settings tab to anyone who wants it. DVR functionality—as of the time of making this video—is a beta feature, but it’s very stable.

You should buy the new antenna man converter box and review it

Perfect! I literally just bought one before your review because I had high hopes that updates to the box would improve it over time.

UPS says I should receive it in about 4-5 days. I'll update when I get it!

This tells me that the National Association of Broadcasters run in with the Consumer Technology Association/Our Voices/5G TV is making some sort of an impact in seeing to it that regardless of what happens in the future that Free OTA Television is held on to someway, somehow even when you include the concept of broadcast internet.
Keep speaking out.

I have issues on my channel in chicago it freezes constantly because of the stupidest of requirements:

Wbbm rf 12 uses a 256 qam which requires 30 db snr which the adth box cannot handle because of the tuner.

They claim it's signal interruption issue on the support page so I'm hoping the adth dongle will fix it

Now share the recorded videos to the home LAN for other TVs to stream

12 Reasons why OTA DRM ATSC 3.0 TV will fail. Just say NO to (DRM). Tell your USA Government about the Hostile Takeover of (OTA DRM ATSC 3.0 NEXTGEN-TV) issues listed below.

DRM (Digital Rights Management) Encrypted TV Station's signals. Why?

Some 3.0 tuners at this time require you stay on the internet to decode DRM 3.0 TV Stations. Why?

3.0 Currently no 4K and you only get the Simulcasted main channel and no sub channels.

Channel Crawling = super slow channel changing (DRM 5 + seconds slow).

No sound because of Dolby AC4 audio codec does not have a legal open source license to decode legally on many devices.

Some 3.0 tuners have Out of sync audio to video problems.

Private Home Networked OTA antenna tuner boxes like (Tablo TV box) can not get official certified approval for DRM ATSC 3.0 NEXTGEN-TV. Why?

You may need non OTA home pay internet for updates and to unlock DRM encrypted ATSC 3.0 tv channels.

Possible DRM restrictions on DRM ATSC 3.0 recordings and no viewing anywhere on any device with no sound.

Emergency alert messages can not be received if DRM is blocking them.

OTA DRM ATSC 3.0 TV will fail because the FCC is not going to turn off ATSC 1.0 TV stations for many years if not enough people buy 3.0 TVs and 3.0 boxes.

No one has solve the problem of no government money for free DRM 3.0 TV tuner boxes because 1.0 TV turners and recorders will not work after that TV Station switches to 3.0 TV broadcasts.

(Range and signal error correction) OR (more sub channels and near 4k picture) trade off problem.

FCC is not forcing any 1.0 TV Stations to move over to 3.0 TV. So some TV stations will be on 1.0 and others will be on DRM 3.0.

The FCC is only allowing OTA Simulcasts of the ATSC 1.0 main channel at this time on DRM ATSC 3.0 NEXTGEN-TV.

DRM ATSC 3.0 is a not finished product and is a work in progress mix of unproven ideas that has never gotten full FCC approval at this time.

Software updates for 3.0 tuner boxes may be needed for changes made to the unfinished and future added new official ATSC 3.0 standards modules.

Patent License problems. LG no longer sells TVs with ATSC 3.0 tuners.

Some 3.0 TV tuners companies may go out of business or stop updates leaving you with no DRM or software updates.

OTA ATSC 3.0 is better but is not perfect and still can be affected by weak tv signals: (distance, weather, planes, trees, buildings, trucks, poor antenna, etc).

FCC rules that 5 percent of old ATSC 1.0 coverage area does not need to be covered anymore = (SHORTER RANGE).

Viewing zone outside of your 15 minute city or town could be blocked.

Your TV viewing habits could be tracked by your serial number or IP address.

ATSC 3.0 is updatable until it is not updatable without new hardware tuners (ATSC 4.0, 5.0, 6.0,

Some of these 3.0 TV issues may be fixed over time.

This is only some of the mess with DRM ATSC 3.0 TV.

This is my opinion why DRM ATSC 3.0 TV will fail.

IMO. Stay on OTA 1.0 TV until DRM is removed from OTA ATSC 3.0 by law.

It is the people versus the hostile takeover by private DRM 3.0 TV stations for control over the USA public airwaves.

IMO 2025..

I have one just like it I have the ADTH Tuner works great for me

[robertmason]

Do you need a Internet connection to download the 3.0 channels the first time you do a channel scan or does it find the 3.0 channels without a Internet connection.

[RichardFeist]

Can you play the recorded drm files via anything other than the author box?

[hectormanuel]

I'm gonna buy the dongle. But I'm curious if it's app lock

[warsaw]

You should note whether you were on the beta update or not.

ADTH latest Beta update is (20250331.212339 ANTB1R-2.0.0.2) that I can get for the Washington DC market. So until ADTH gives a newer update DRM encryption stills requires connection to the internet. Also: Every ADTH box has its own special ID serial number from ADTH.
