Same Thing Here

Just this past Sunday, I was attempting to tape The Simpsons and The Family Guy (Giggiddy-Giggiddy-Goo) and had constant DRM issues exactly as mentioned here. There was a difference though in that I was using my ATI Radeon All-In-Wonder 8500 on my Windows PC, not a Tivo. I was pretty pissed to be prompted that the programs were view only though. Even the portions that did record were repeated frames with V-Sync problems. Very coincidental that I tried only these shows.

I had recently updated my ATI Multimedia Center and video drivers so I figured that the new version (9.08, which is newer than 9.10 somehow) had new DRM features. I uninstalled that crap as quickly as I could.

Hmmm, so the tuner card itself was picking something up in the VBI that set some "rules"? That's interesting, and may spell trouble for MythTV users perhaps. What if all tuner cards put restrictions on what content they will shoot down the PCI bus?

Re: Same Thing Here

The thing is, I was sure that the DRM was only active because of the new ATI Multimedia Center software I had updated just days before the new season of the Family Guy started (This past Sunday). I've never had another television show trigger a broadcast flag before, so I'd be surprised if it was the video card.

Then again, the only shows that I'd tried to record with that new ATI MMC was The Family Guy and the Simpsons, the same programs that this article refers to, so we could still be screwed. I'll know more when I start recording next Sundway with the old ATI MMC software back on my PC.
