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: http://www.publicknowledge.org/node/316 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. Randy S. |

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. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |
