But if you read the FCC documents about it, they make it clear that

So have they given up on the (complicated but fairly robust) encryption/ authentication/key-revocation scheme for digital interconnects that was being bandied about in the beginning? (The actual OTA signal would have been in the clear in any case, but building an ATSC receiver probably takes more than a little technical knowledge and even then isn't what I'd call easy. Unless of course someone comes up with a good GNUradio cookbook. :)
The courts are going to slap down on the FCC anyhow.
