==Incidents== Many major US ATSC 3.0 pilot stations started encrypting their broadcasts in 2023,<ref name=":0" /><ref>https://blog.lon.tv/2023/05/15/broadcasters-roll-out-restrictive-drm-encryption-on-atsc-3-0-broadcasts/</ref> locking out users of all pre-certification ATSC 3.0 tuners without decryption support. This has led to some resource websites like [https://www.rabbitears.info/ rabbitears.info] to become concerned about their future providing information on channels due to encryption becoming more widespread. They warn the site may be unable to operate as the tools for analysis of channels become inoperable on encrypted channels.<ref>https://www.rabbitears.info/static.php?name=atsc3_encryption</ref> In cases where encrypted channels were able to be decrypted using certified tuners, it has been reported an active internet connection is required to tune or switch between encrypted channels.<ref>https://blog.lon.tv/2023/09/03/the-adth-nextgen-tv-box-shows-us-just-how-bad-atsc-3-0-encrpytion-will-be/</ref> LG has also encountered patent issues trying to incorporate tuners into their TVs, which resulted in a dispute with Constellation Design Inc. that ended ATSC 3.0 tuner support in new LG televisions as of September 2023.<ref name=":1" /><ref>https://blog.lon.tv/2023/09/26/new-lg-televisions-will-not-have-atsc-3-tuners-due-to-patent-dispute/</ref>
