If I'm not mistaken, other than the ATSC 3.0's better 1080p minimum resolution you also get most of the content with HDR and wide color gamut, and less compression with the new ATSC 3.0 compression algorithms so the overall picture quality is much cleaner and more detailed with more depth, and higher contrast, and enhanced color fidelity. We're also factory direct ZapperBox dealers and we set-up two M1-2 dual tuner ZapperBoxes. One is in our main showroom connected to Sony's new 77" A95L QD OLED TV with a OTA splitter so we have 3 OTA tuners. We can record two channels while watching a third OTA channel. I just found your channel and love your presentation style and the content you cover! I subscribed and liked your channel.

Good thing is the DVR and the ATSC1.0 channels work okay with it like normal may even pick those channels up a little stronger. The guide looks nice. I personally would not buy this unit until we see if the NextGen stuff is going to end up pay per view. I bought a new Hisense 55U7K That has the NextGen turner and in the Nashville TN are scanned int 51 ATSC and 7 Next Gen channels. Most of the 51 did not work and the Next Gen was scrambled.

The network or channel offerings available via this device do not match the variety currently provided by cable or satellite TV. While many are opting to cut the cord, choosing the Zapperbox primarily grants access to the major networks such as ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, and PBS along with a few independent networks broadcasting in your market.

@@AskDaveTaylor I am sure it could be locked up at any time so it become a pay tv signal. When the videocipher 2 came out for C band satellite there were two ways they could uplink the channels with videocipher 2 scrambling. They could use what they called fixed key or open key so all descramblers could descramble the channel so it could be watched or it could be scrambled with out the key so it was necessary to pay to descramble the channel. This was older tecnology. They later started using digital scrambling which had the same capabilities so i am sure this could lock up the channels so they were unviewable at any time. This means they can stop sending the key in the signal for any or all channels so they would be unwatchable without paying. Local tv channels have become dependent on cable and satellite redistributing fees. As cable and satellite distributers lose subscribers the local channels lose revenue so they will likely start charging for local channels. Restrictions now prevent them from scrambling their main channel but sub channels may become pay channels or the laws could change. By the way I heard about the zapper box on another video. They said it costs $5.00 a month for the guide in this zapper box. Not sure the box is usable without paying for the guide after the first month.
