http://preview.bloomberg.com/news/2...to-use-anti-piracy-technology-on-tv-sets.html I would like to add this to the article
"important victory for consumers," yay but is this actually supposed to get movies out there faster? like how? theater release alongside the payperview? (and I really doubt they could prevent duplication this way, computers can have any input a TV can have)
You still need a cable card to record an HD feed on your pc. Not to mention if they wanted to get anal about it, recording any media and transfering it to a different platform is a violation of copyright laws.
no but what I'm saying is you can have your computer work like a television and the cablebox is nonethewiser. That is why I brought up that you can have a vidicard with whatever input you wanted. If you have the cable box running to your TV and it lets you watch movies, they really would be able to stop you from having it run to your computer instead assuming you have the same plug-ins or an adapter. The cable box sure as hell isn't gonna know the difference.
