Canadian here, so not up on FCC regs, but I think I knew the main channel
had to be FTA. But my question was more about the "copy" flags in ATSC3
DRM. So NBC OTA affiliates have to air NBC FTA but can the network set the
ATSC3 "copy none" flag on their main channel to stop Myth, Tablo, etc from
recording, say, *SVU* and football?
