Hollywood and NFL Fight TiVo

Posted by michael on from the because-they-hate-you dept.

An anonymous reader writes "MSNBC/Washington Post is reporting that the NFL and tinseltown have asked the FCC to stop TiVo from expanding its service to include the ability to transfer recordings to PC's and other remote devices. TiVo says the system is secure. I say its source code will end up on the box. You do the math."

  1. If not for Tivo.... by Dark+Paladin · · Score: 5, Funny

    Millions of people wouldn't have known what Janet Jackson's left breast looked like.

    I only know because I was out of the room during the halftime show, missed it, had no idea what occured, then within hours had various friends of mine with PVR's sending me the files via email.

    And all I could think as I looked at them was "Eh - my wife's are better. And probably more real."
