i'm pretty sure there are works in progress to outlaw this shortly. ;) actually, with the broadcast flag this is a good possibility. the broadcast flag can be set in a couple of different ways (please correct me if i'm wrong, i didn't read the spec). it can be set to prevent the recording of a show, it can also be set to permit the recording of a show but with an expiration date. it would also be possible to set to permit the recording of a show allowing it to be viewed only once. <sarcasm> and with the new smart HDTV's it can be set to allow recording but played only once to a specific audience...</sarcasm> ----------------------------------------------------- a 'whole lotta' GMail Invites available Please Email me OFF-list only...
