    Does it include information about the DRM that the MPAA has forced on us all HDCP, if your screen is not HDCP compliant or the DRM "handshake" takes a little too long you will be blocked from viewing any Hi-Def content?

    Then there is the UK issue of the government sell off of the airwaves so after the digital switch over you will not get a single Hi-Def channel via free view, even the BBC HD channels that are funded by us, will only be available via Sky or Cable premium rate subscriptions so the mass populous get to enjoy a 480 picture stretched to 1080, that's gotta be worth £800+ to get a worse quality picture!

    American Studios' Secret Plan to Lock Down European TV Devices

    Originally posted by link FTA::
    Hollywood's desire to force DRM on TV fans doesn't stop at the U.S. border -- an international consortium of television and technology companies is devising draconian anti-consumer restrictions for the next generation of TVs in Europe and beyond, at the behest of American entertainment giants.

    EFF is the only public interest group to have gained entrance into the secretive meetings of the Digital Video Broadcasting Project (DVB), a group that creates the television and video specifications used in Europe, Australia, and much of Asia and Africa. In a report released today, we show how U.S. movie and television companies have convinced DVB to create new technical specifications that would build digital rights management technologies into televisions. These specifications are designed to give content providers a veto over innovation and take away consumers' rights to make legitimate uses of lawfully acquired digital television content.
    BTW when they say Hollywood they mean the MPAA.
