DVR clampdown on Direct TV for PPV
At the behest of the entertainment industry. Those that record Pay Per View and record it on their DVR. If you do not watch it within 24 hours it will be gone. In fact no matter what it will not be saved after 24 hours.
Time to drag out that old relic...the VCR. This starts April 15 2008.
