Dylan06SS Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- Many fans of digital video recorders made by TiVo Inc. are beginning to fear that Hollywood studios will one day reach into their set-top boxes to restrict the way they record and store movies and programs. http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/ptech/09/22/t...s.ap/index.html Probably not a thing most people should worry about unless they're trying to stockpile certian shows for piracy... but interesting either way you look at it... big brother is watching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black03SS_NJ Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Interesting...I can tape whatever I like from my TV with my VCR, or from my radio with a tape player, but it's different with my HD TIVO? Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Guess the concern here is that the DVR records the material in digital format keeping it in higher quality and making it easier to store, reporduce, & distribute. With tapes theres the loss of picture/sound quality and its more difficult to reproduce for distribution... Even then I still think it sux that networks are fighting digital technology every step of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
