I live in Toronto, where this story occured and broke on the news yesterday. Many different news outlets were advising people to "keep access points away from exterior walls and windows", which I thought was rather humorous. I did not hear any advice about enabling MAC address filtering, which would prevent any unauthorized access.
I'm not sure I fully understand this concept. Currently, most HD broadcasts eminate from the 4 major networks over the airwaves, at no charge to the end-user. How is a broadcaster like CBS hurt by someone distributing a show on the internet? They receive to revenue directly from the end-user. I can understand HBO being upset if people are distributing episodes of their shows. So basically, my quesion is, will the 4 major networks be implenting this technology even though they should have no reason to?

Didn't the title say the review was of ALL the HD recorders available? The Scientific Atlanta 8000HD may not be the best, but it certainly works.
