Broadcasters are now restricting antenna television watchers to use gateway devices in the home. Gateways like Tablo and the HDHomerun allow viewers to watch TV on any device with a screen from just a single antenna connection. In this video we'll look at using the Channels App and their "custom channels" feature to bring this functionality back with protected ATSC 3 channels.
