   As I understand it, atsc3 has the mechanism to support subscriptions but   
   they're not using that feature in my area.

   On my FLEX 4K receivers, the local CBS atsc3 channels allow live viewing,   
   recording, playback and commercial skip.   
      
   The local NBC atsc3 channels are DRM protected so block live viewing,   
   recording, playback and commercial skip. All you get is a black screen.
