Once again the rulers of the free-to-air networks see pending doom as technology delivers them another massive left hook. Now they want PVR manufacturers to add fast forward speed limiters to their boxes. This means if a manufacturer produces a device with a 30 sec skip button, or allows FF greater than x60.
All this really means is if yo do by a PVR you will need a small chid to help with the hacking.
I am again amazed by the lack of foresight of the Free TV Australia (still the most incorrect term for any organisation in the world) – it’s over boys. Sell your studios and put your cameras on eBay. You’ve lost.
