Cablevision Sued Over Remote DVR Plan

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the good-idea-bad-idea dept.

zoobid writes "NBC, CBS, ABC, and Fox have joined together and filed an injunction against Cablevision over their plan to introduce remote DVRs to their customers. 'They argue that while precedent may allow for legal time-shifting among home TV viewers, Cablevision's plans should require a special license from the broadcasters.' Cablevision's plan to create a centrally-hosted DVR was previously covered here on Slashdot."

    The Science Channel is a digital-only service. The Military Channel has a lot of interesting aviation shows, especially regarding the history of aviation. I wish I could tune the National Geographic, but that's a $200 tuner for my system because it's on the Ku band and my tuner is C band only.

    I also record a lot of Comedy Central, Daily, Colbert, Drawn Together, Mencia and a lot of stand-up acts too. That channel is the best $10/yr I've ever spent.
