Naperville, IL | Re: DRM is bogus I'm hoping replayTVm doesn't follow with this nonsense. Regardless, though, I'm getting to the point where the internet and my Xbox is starting to become a great supplement to my two ReplayTVs. | |

They're just not seeing the 'false positives' TiVo is... which is probably blind dumb luck since ReplayTV hasn't updated their software in going on two years...
(I have both a TiVo and a ReplayTV) | |

| Re: DRM is bogus Believe only Replay series beginning with 3000 series has Macrovision DRM. I have an upgraded 2000 series & I'm 100 percent certain there is no Macrovision encryption capability that can "manage" any content recorded on my drive . . . including PPV. It's one reason why I've stuck with the machine . . . & an example of why I went with Replay v. TiVo back in 2000 when I bought the 2000 series. I can skip over commercials; I don't pay a monthly fee (paid for lifetime service @ time of purchase); I have no one collecting data on my viewing habits; & I don't have involuntary software upgrades that increasingly impinge upon my domain over recorded content.
Will keep as backup once I move to an MPREG4 HD-DVR from DirecTV in 1Q2006. IMHO, TiVo has NEVER been about "TV the way u want it." It's been about survival of a questionable business model. | |

As do I (well several actually) and recording from a DVD always tags the content with a flag on the TiVo (or sometimes it simply refuses to record).
On my Replay 5040 I can record a DVD without consequence. | |
