I agree with you. Here in Germany dvb-t is still freely available but most digital HD content is already encrypted and broadcasters are trying to limit both recording (to 90 min in the past) and fast forwarding (so that one has to watch all the ads) of digital HD content. The media companies are also trying to charge big bucks for this crippled system. I sure hope they will fail, but considering how gullible many people are (and that these large high res LCD TVs are getting more and more commonplace) they might even succeed. :( -- copperstate ------------------------------------------------------------------------ copperstate's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34756 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79007 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
