The article omits any mention of DRM Encryption or the need for an Internet connection to decode it. While the Developers are using the excuse of the need for DRM Encryption to thwart Pirate rebroadcasts, the true goal is to make Over-The-Air broadcasts Pay Per View. It will also stop "Time Shifting" home recordings and In Home Wi-Fi TV, etc. Americans will lose the benefits of the educational, news, disaster and other information that Unites us. DRM Encryption is a threat to American society as we know it! Please watch the anti-DRM advocates on YouTube, such as The Antenna Man, Lon.tv and the Cord Cutter channel. Please sign the FCC petition they promote and comment to the FCC.
