if you haven’t heard by now, come july 1, 2005, the fcc is instituting a broadcast flag mandate which will prevent certain programs from being recorded digitally to your pvr. new pvrs and hd receivers will be compliant with the policy hollywood helped create. today, you can still buy devices which allow you to record, download, and burn hd programming regardless of the flag.

but what if i don’t have HDTV? don’t worry, someday you will. someday you will want to record something, and that something will be flagged. and you will be SOL.

record it now or buy the box set next xmas.
