How long does MythTV have before it's effectively locked out of the market by providers?

How long do we have before an asteroid from space or our own wretched malice or stupidity wipes us out? ;-)

When they lock everything down and make MythTv impossible, I'll just turn it off, sell the TV. and read books. I'll get more done, be happier, and probably live longer. Screw the greedy b***ards -- just say "no" to DRM.

my favorite part of the article:

First off, they do have a few advantages: no ugly box, fewer wires around your entertainment center, and a lower monthly rental fee. They will also allow you to explain to friends that you've "got a CableCARD in there" and then smile like the avant-garde consumer that you are.


WTF?!?!?

there are just no end of snarky comments I could append to that statement.

/just. Ugh.
