During the previous broadcast flag hoo-ha, word was that it was the tuner that would have the limitation. I only know of one model of tuner that promised to not honor the flag. Which would have become illegal to manufacture if the law/regulation hadn't been struck down. I don't know of any that definitely do honor the flag. I suspect that most do not, but who knows? Word is that there are stations that have the flag turned on. So... if you want to be able to time-shift, you need a tuner (or 2 or 3...) that doesn't honor the flag. Attach them to your open-source computer. Time-shift as you please. It is sad that you can't just go to a store and buy a box to do this and know that it will work, and continue to work. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
