so nobody knows why I can record on-demand on sky, but not on-demand on
a Humax freesat box, particularly with regard to a publicly funded
broadcaster like BBC.



you could just as well ask why you can stream on demand on a freesat box
but you can't on a sky one.
different ways of doing the same thing - with sky they download the
program to the hard drive for playback, with freesat it streams.
both give you the opportunity to watch the show in x number of days.

don't think that's true, with sky I can watch at any time, until it self
destructs. With freesat I have to decide to watch and then do it.

That consideration didn't stop music publishers from moaning about 'home taping'
on audio cassette, and trying to get a levy on blank tapes. They even successfully
sued Amstrad for saying their dual drive recorder would be useful for duplicating
recordings.

They sued them unsuccessfully actually.

if you record it yes.
but if you download it from the on demand section.....
obviously not anything you're actually paying for.

It doesn't matter what they claim, they still lost.

Anything else is pure spin, like the losing party after an election.

Must be, because men are always wrong even when they are right.
