Re: don't stifle it...

I have to agree with you. This is actually studio friendly. Further, it IS still a DVR. The *AAs are idiots in thinking they have a chance to pull off this legal battle. I think in the end, we will shelve THIS case up with the Beta, VHS, laser disc, and everything else they have tried to block.

It's nothing more than DVR is today, only, think of it as being in "another room"...

But, if they want to spend their money on attorneys, more power to them. I think they are going to loose.

You know, it's getting to the point where when you get a paycheck, it might as well be direct deposited to the banks by default.. half of your check goes to the oil/energy companies and the other half to the *AAs. SEems they are the ones wanting most, er, feeling like they deserve all th emoney now adays.

It's different from onDemand because the user has to specify what shows they want recorded. It's a fine line but in essence the user still having to manually hit the record button means it's still a dvr and it's not ondemand. And supposedly you can store shows as long as you want, until you choose to delete them. And you have a storage limit. Honestly the media companies should love this. It ensures they can enforce copy protections and time limits on recordings. Unlike stand alone dvrs.
