YUP. TIVO users were recently treatred to a sample of things to come when
the networks inadvertently flagged a bunch of programs that were not
supposed to be flagged, thus not allowing TIVO users to record those
programs.

In 2008, the flagging is going to be in use on an industry wide basis. Want
to record that ballgame while you're at work? Sorry, you can't. Want to
record Letterman so you can watch it the next day? NOPE. No recording of
just about ANYTHING n a TIVO or a DVD recorder.

Oh, and those new TV-In video cards? THey won'y work either, or so I'm told.

Of course, there'll be a goldmine for anyone who can build a device that
will kill the flags.....
