Vista/XP MC seems to block some TV Shows!

Wow I have to laugh! Some people actually seemed shocked that this happened!
Seems a Windows Vista and XP Media Center computer's have been failing/blocking some recordings due to DRM/Broadcast flagged ( I thought this wasn't in effect in the US.) Seems people in the US and Canada are affected....wtf Canada?

Re: Vista/XP MC seems to block some TV Shows!

It's one of the reasons why I refuse to use Vista in my environment. I wonder how many toes they have left when they keep shooting themselves in the foot?

Seems like this Snapstream T-Shirt is apropos!


I'm also glad that Snapstream does not include this bug^H^H^H feature.
