In Canberra, Australia all my favourite shows are on a protected channel (Channel 8 WinTV) and i can’t use the HDHomeRun, it’s practically useless after spending so much on one.
Or at least if you can’t or won’t bypass this annoying restriction, make it complaint so at least we can only watch live (no ability to record). I’m sire there is something that can be done.
I recently even updated my system. For a long story short I contacted HD HomeRun because I bought the prime for a cablecard. and even with their windows app the drm channels were not working. They gave me the stupid answer of either going to windows 7 and WMC (come on, it isn’t even supported…idiots.) Then finally a breakthrough the machine I had did not have UEFI BIOS and I needed the TPM chip as well (by the way make sure to research which version goes with your machine if it not part of the system) Well yesterday I installed the chip made sure the cable card was registered and voila the HD Homerun app worked. Now my question is if HD Homerun app works and they aren’t part of the DRM consortium, why can’t Plex work with them to figure it out?
Again the same as what Silicon is doing… Plex would have to do. A fully protected path would need to be created for the DRM for each device supported. This has proven to be a daunting task.
I JUST got Spectrum to get my tuner adapter to work on my Silicon Dust HD Home Run prime to work. So in the native app, I can watch my premium channels just fine. That is on a Windows 10 computer.
Maybe my understanding of Plex and IP tuners needs a lot of work but I thought it just askes the device to stream the content from the IP tuner, itself? The DRM is between the HD Homerun Prime box and the tuning adapter. Is there something that the device pulling the stream from the IP tuner has to do different?
Just noticed this suggestion.
Given there’s a different version of this with a few more votes I’m going to close this one. Please vote/comment in the thread linked below instead.
