[Fsuk-manchester] Ofcom public consultation on BBC DRM

[Mark Reynolds]

The BBC would like to introduce DRM on it's HD Freeview broadcasts.
Ofcom currently have a public consultation running on this.

According to 
http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2010/01/22/ofcom_freeview_hd_drm_consultation/
this will not stop you being able to make a recording on a DVR but
'if your set-top box doesn't support the BBC's preferred DRM
technology, you won't get to see BBC channels on your Electronic
Programme Guide (EPG) and use it schedule recordings'
