Interestingly, I don't get what everyone is so excited about. Hard drives are cheap as chips. Heck, BellTV (sat company) up here activated the USB port on my regular HD receiver,I plugged in a hard drive, and boom, DVR.

I think all the surpreme court did was put this one on hold - let the technology play a bit, and wait until the broadcasters come back with a much more solid list of complaints to work from.

Oh yeah, as for TV, yes, it is dying pretty quick these days, prime time is the latest victim. NBC has dumped 10PM for Leno, Fox never did 10 PM, and CBS is looking to replace 10PM with a sort of super national news / interview thing, maybe as soon as January.

The real victims? 10PM drama shows, the things that have turned into the staples of all the cable channels that run repeats (tnt, spike, etc). They are going to find themselves up the creek with very little new programming soon.
