Building a TiVo, a Step at a Time
How to build a personal digital video recorder, courtest of Wired and its sources - but do it soon, as if you wait too long then you'll have to abide by the digitial rights management being broadcast in the digital t.v. signal and won't be able to have half as much functionality as you may want. Cutting back on functionality is not going to make things more popular, and has the potential to undermine DRM completely. Certainly it will erode customer confidence in DRM - though there are thoughts that companies such as Apple are not as sold on it as a technology as they may want you to currently think - it could be argued it is merely a marketing ploy, something that you have to pay lip service to, in order to shift your products ("Neither device manufacturers nor carriers see DRM as a viable long-term solution").
