Curious if some of you electronics gurus knows anything about this: When we had DirectTV (from 2006 until last month), I never had any problems recording things from my DVR (including movies recorded off of HBO) onto a DVD-R using my Philips DVD Recorder. Not only did this allow me to build a nice library of movies and other recordings on DVD, but I could then transfer them to my iPod using HandBrake.
Now that we have AT&T U-Verse-- a setup I otherwise love-- I'm finding I cannot record to DVD because of apparent DRM issues. So-- I can understand the DRM issue. Same as trying to record a copy of a DVD I bought in the store. But-- why did it work on DirectTV? Is this just a coincidental timing issue (ie DirectTV doesn't let you do it anymore, either) or is it that U-Verse enforces DRM and DirectTV simply did / does not?? --Van -- Van Allen Plexico Writer, Editor, Publisher (& Professor) www.plexico.net www.whiterocketbooks.com www.avengersassemble.net -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Unique Geek" group.
