Who said anything about gaming consoles? There have been tons of
instances where people managed to totally bypass the protection or
encryption scheme of a program simply by patching it to ignore or just not
make the jump to that routine.

How'd we get to DVRs? DVRs have always stored compressed signals. The

broadcaster's side (satelite, digital cable) or if you're doing it in
realtime on your side (everyone else.)
