Zapperbox is patting themselves on the back today. Apparently they've managed to get other Zapperbox devices in the home to playback DRM live and recorded DVR content from another device. They say this is a "big deal" - but this basic functionality has existed in ATSC 1.0 tuner products for almost 20 years now. "Zapper Mini" client boxes cost $139 - significantly more than a $20-30 streaming stick that works with the current standard.

The absolute hot mess of ATSC3 kind of proves this. There’s basically 3 devices on the market that can handle the DRM, two of which are cheap buggy pieces of crap, and the only good one (ZapperBox) is $200 and there’s only ever 5 units in stock on Amazon at a time.

ZapperBox is now testing whole home ATSC 3.0 DVR with DRM protected broadcasts. ecoustics.com/news/zapperbox…
