kudos:1 | DVRicide First usage of DVRicide. Making DVR recording impossible. That message will pop up randomly during you recording and stay on the recording to the end of it, since there was no human to manually clear it with the remote. Finally TV broadcasters figured out how to kill the evil DVR. |

| Does the popup get recorded?
It shouldn't, the popup should be just on the screen, not in the video streem. |

| It depends on at which point the DVR gets the video stream. If it gets it before the STB overlays its GUI, then the ad won't be there. However, if it's getting the stream from the box's output, then yes, it will show up.
And since the only DVR that will get the stream before the GUI is overlaid is the AT&T DVR, then it's the only one that will work. All the rest--TiVo, Windows Media Center, MythTV--will get the stream later and therefore be rendered useless by these ads. |
