TiVo-like Application for XM Radio Under Fire

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the bloop-bloop-ding dept.

Strudelkugel writes "USA Today reports: 'Catching Blondie's reunion tour broadcast at 4 in the morning wasn't an option for XM satellite radio subscriber and single father Scott MacLean. "I was missing concerts that were being broadcasted when I was asleep or out," he said. So the 35-year-old computer programmer from Ottawa, Ontario, wrote a piece of software that let him record the show directly onto his PC hard drive while he snoozed.' As expected, the lawyers are coming out. Seems like a good idea, though. This capability might actually entice me to get an XM radio."

    Dear Jeff,

    I couldn't really give a shit what some little peon like you thinks. But thanks for writing.

    Thanks for your input,
    XM

    yes, I can see how automatic that is, and how easy it makes sorting the recorded music by artist and album... wait no! your analogy sucks!
