http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf Craig, please feel free to look in this summary of the DCMA, or anywhere else, to prove your point that TV or PC hardware manufacturers need to get approval for their designs from the TV congloms. You are probably confused by the fact that some companies, such as Apple and Sony, had to get approval for setting up a TV streaming **service** for their boxes. A completely different matter. As usual, you state things with no proof.
