ReplayTV DVR to Remove Features

Posted by michael on from the forgotten-who-the-customer-is dept.

KarlTheGhoul writes "D&M Holdings Inc. on Tuesday said its new ReplayTV digital television recorder will not include controversial features such as automatically skipping commercials and sharing shows via the Internet." This is a confirmation of our earlier story. Their new ad slogan will be "Costs More, Less Useful".

    Just like Itunes was cracked when it was crippled, somebody will release a patch for this too.

    This only effect's their new product line
    but the article says that it's older models

    Honestly, what's out there that's really worth all this fuss? Or, extended to the rest of mass media, what's really out there that's worth all this hullabaloo? The number of movies worth watching that came out in the last 5 years can be counted on one hand. The number of new bands worth listening to come out in the same time is zero. The only TV worth watching was Babylon 5, and that's on DVD. Just put the remote down and walk away. Go code. Go build. Go play. Go vote. Go live your life instead of letting someone else do it vicariously for you. Sheez!
