All Your VCR's Are Belong To Us

The scrapheap that is. They will be rendered useless, if some wonderful congressmen and manufacturers have thier way. With the coming arrival of digital TV broadcasts, it will also usher out the older equipment that we've been accumulating in our homes. This means you will no longer be able to record broadcasts on your VCR's and you'll be required to buy a digital to analog converter for your TV set, once the digital signals hit the airwaves, come January 1, 2007. The House subcommittee want to start the move to copy protected signals on January 1, 2006.

WTH??? Is M$ in on this deal?
