Great stuff.]]>Dec 31st 2008 9:50PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/31/fcc-chairman-doesnt-support-hollywoods-request-for-selectabl/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/31/fcc-chairman-doesnt-support-hollywoods-request-for-selectabl/
That means that you had better have yourself not only a nice shiny new TiVo or whatever, but you'll need to replace that CRT TV you've got and get rid of your old DVD player to and get a BluRay so that you can also watch the DVDs that they'll more than likely also enable the output selection on.

Yep. Good stuff...

It's not that I have a thing aginst DRM... It's that there is absolutely no open standard for it. Seriously, not only would an open source DRM be the most secure form of DRM, but just think how much more money that could be made from it when your cell phone, the kids' cell phone, your PSP, an Archos, the iPod, the PS3, a Roku, and your computer could all use the same format.

Do this, then selective output would be just fine.]]>Jan 1st 2009 12:48PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/31/fcc-chairman-doesnt-support-hollywoods-request-for-selectabl/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/31/fcc-chairman-doesnt-support-hollywoods-request-for-selectabl/
I, for one, can't wait for the day we can do Open Source movies :-)

The day might not be as far as you think... Wikiversity already has a project. I say, open movies by 2030

(There's already open music)]]>Jan 1st 2009 12:53AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/31/fcc-chairman-doesnt-support-hollywoods-request-for-selectabl/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/31/fcc-chairman-doesnt-support-hollywoods-request-for-selectabl/Jan 1st 2009 3:00AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/31/fcc-chairman-doesnt-support-hollywoods-request-for-selectabl/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/31/fcc-chairman-doesnt-support-hollywoods-request-for-selectabl/
This is no different than telling Americans that recording a TV show on their VCR is stealing.

Go to hell, Hollywood.]]>Jan 1st 2009 4:11AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/31/fcc-chairman-doesnt-support-hollywoods-request-for-selectabl/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/31/fcc-chairman-doesnt-support-hollywoods-request-for-selectabl/
What it will do is piss off the CEA, who need to answer to custom installation retailers who cannot use HDMI on complex systems due to poor HDMI interactivity.]]>Jan 1st 2009 11:00AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/31/fcc-chairman-doesnt-support-hollywoods-request-for-selectabl/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/31/fcc-chairman-doesnt-support-hollywoods-request-for-selectabl/Jan 2nd 2009 3:26AM
