Re: DRM is bogus

Hate to burst your bubble but ReplayTV has supported the same Macrovision DRM for over a year.

They're just not seeing the 'false positives' TiVo is... which is probably blind dumb luck since ReplayTV hasn't updated their software in going on two years...

(I have both a TiVo and a ReplayTV)
Yeah, now that you mention it, I remember reading about it over at avforum.

Re: DRM is bogus

Believe only Replay series beginning with 3000 series has Macrovision DRM. I have an upgraded 2000 series & I'm 100 percent certain there is no Macrovision encryption capability that can "manage" any content recorded on my drive . . . including PPV. It's one reason why I've stuck with the machine . . . & an example of why I went with Replay v. TiVo back in 2000 when I bought the 2000 series. I can skip over commercials; I don't pay a monthly fee (paid for lifetime service @ time of purchase); I have no one collecting data on my viewing habits; & I don't have involuntary software upgrades that increasingly impinge upon my domain over recorded content.

Will keep as backup once I move to an MPREG4 HD-DVR from DirecTV in 1Q2006. IMHO, TiVo has NEVER been about "TV the way u want it." It's been about survival of a questionable business model.
