DRM isn't about sports. It's about a controlled, closed system like cable TV is. If they don't want you recording something, they'll just put a flag on the content and make it non-recordable. After all, Lon was saying in that vid that they honor to hold their word on recording rights as long as...
Wow! I had no idea. How little I have paid attention to it.
I remember back when young RB Robert Edwards blew out his knee playing in a rookie flag football game over during the Pro-Bowl break. He was very promising for the Pats and it took him 3 years to get back into pro-football and another...
If I turn 'the parental control' feature off and accidentally change to channel to one of the fee based shows it does not start, Right?
I am required to decline it to avoid the hassle of calling Dish and claim I made a mistake?

Not sure if it was discontinued or some kind of limitation from TWC HD having been recently moved from D10 to D15.
Here's a question, if DRM is about sports, as the broadcasters say, then why not encrypt only during sporting events?
CBS already does that on C-band during NFL season. They encrypt during Sunday games, then go back FTA afterward.
