I understand there are copyright issues at play here.
Does anyone know how we stand on copyright in the uk for tv programs?
We've all for years recorded at least one tv show or movie onto VHS. Which
is rapidily becoming old technology.
How legal is that?
My concerns about DRM in the I Player is that you have to be in front of a
computer. You can't burn it to disk and watch it in your living room, where
you may not have a computer sitting?

What format will they be using for the video?
I think it sounds like a great idea but I bet it'll be Windows Media and DRM
to the hilt.

Before you purchase any computer based solutions to recording TV shows, =
you=20
may wish to know about future happenings on the internet.
We'll cover this on the new Access 2.0 blog on the BBC website soon=20
www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/access20 and keep you up to date.
Basically, buying a hardware solution plus aerial or satellite dish will =
soon prove to be a very expensive way of viewing or recording TV because =
the
BBC and other broadcasters will be providing TV catchup services and =
more=20
online for free very soon.
Some broadcasters already have some TV download services, Five and =
Channel 4
for instance. Also Sky. (any accessibility feedback on these welcome)
The BBC's forthcoming iPlayer that is likely to launch in the Spring of=20
2007, is a piece of downloadable software that you put on your PC to giv =
you
access to the last 7 days of BBC output. Important to note that it will =
be=20
carrying Audio Description, subtitles, signing and more access =

They're talking a good access talk right now and want to re-define what=20
access to television means to disabled people.
So from spring you will be able to do similar things to Sky Plus. There =
are=20
a few copyright restrictions however which mean you can only keep the=20
programme for 13 weeks on your hard drive before it automatically gets=20
zapped.
There is currently talk of licensing iPlayer to other broadcasters or=20
possibly - to make it more simple - to give other broadcasters access to =
iPlayer so you will find all channels output via the one service.
For those of you who are a little geekier, you might like to know that =

in the UK is viewed online and that's before iPlayer or other rivals are =

If anyone has any other questions I'll try to answer.
Clearly Nebula is the best most accessible solution but be aware of =
