Mbit - Monty Solomon wrote in messagenews:: By ERIC A. TAUB Last month the maker of ReplayTV, a line of digital video recorders that allows consumers to record and store hours of their favorite television programs on hard drives instead of tape, agreed to remove two features from its devices that simplified life for consumers but complicated business for entertainment providers.Complicated business? Read that to mean ... "Cut into programmers'profits" ReplayTV's new 5500 model, which will go on sale next month, will no longer be able to skip entire commercials automatically without recording them or to send recorded programming over the Internet to other ReplayTV users outside a home network. The recorders will, however, still be able to store large libraries of programming indefinitely and allow users to skip manually through recorded commercials in 30-second increments.And I wonder how long it will be until it's hacked back into thesystem by enterprising people.I really do so very much hate electronics trying to "protect us fromourselves." Just my opinion.-Rick
