is there such a thing as TELEVISED movies(like say the movies on tcm or
hbo) that can't be burned to dvd after being dvr'd because they are
copyritten?

Not generally yet (I think some Pay-per-view stuff might have content
protection?), but the content providers are trying their damnedest to
get it out there. As of now, I haven't heard anyone having trouble
recording stuff from even pay channels like HBO, though HBO has talked
about restrictions.

The broadcast flag was recently resurrected once *again* in Congress,
tacked onto the Net Neutrality bill:

by Ted Stevens from Alaska, no less (is this guy the biggest idiot in
Congress, or what? I guarantee you he has no idea what a broadcast flag is)

They're not going to give up until they manage to slip it in through
some bill unnoticed somewhere.

Yes, it's even possible to not allow you to record it, assuming the
recorder you use has this so called feature. And tivos do have it, as do
about all commercial bought DVR's.
