It was the same with VHS, you are only meant to record stuff to watch
later, if you are unable to watch it at the time, and there is a time
limit to how long you can keep it.....but I don't recall it ever
becoming law, mainly because MP's found it anal and unpolicable anyhow,
waste of time and money.

Problem is, the Sky transmission will be even worse quality than a 4.5G
DVD rip, with all their JPEG blocking, as they are using a very low
bitrate to transmit.Even with films they do with DD5.1
