You only need 1 (one) person with proper setup to make an unrestricted copy.
That can then be distributed.
Makes no sense to me whatsoever.
These systems have failed in the past.
The idea: 'program erases itself after 7 days' must really come from a complete
computer moron.
Well, so what, BBC cannot even maintain (do you hear me morons) a proper teletext
page on page 119 on BBC1 and BB2 it seems (sold out to Rupert Murdoch?).
Not that that stops me from getting program info from
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/whatson/search/grid.cgi?range=1800&day=Today&medium=tv
so Murdoch, you failed again, same PC same recorder, could even parse that
for programming, but programs just not good enough to bother.
So, with that amount of in depth knowledge, and the rest of the technical staff on the streets
too soon it seems... what other crap can come out.
