Jun 4th 2007 12:59PM Ok try to follow along here: MS doesn't decide to protect content, they abide by the rules so they can actually offer content...
They sell software, not content...
And yes, their IPTV will be restricted up the ying-yang but at least they will be following hollywierds rules instead of making up their own like the cable co's...
If you don't like it, steal your content like everyone else...

Jun 4th 2007 10:40AM I am using a shaw PVR that I purchased - I got tired of its crappy interface and reliability issues so I connected it to Vista MC via firewire.
It there is content protection, it has still allowed me to record the show in SD but it doesn't happen very often.
I tried to purchase another PVR from E-bay (which shaw said I could do) but then they refused to connect it to their network.
So now they basically have a monopoly on digital cable and stb's.
Truly evil...
Hopefully MS's implementation of IPTV will save us all and cut-out the middleman for good...
Vista with HD rocks btw...
