• As someone else has mentioned, this is not happening only with Vista. I have been having this problem somewhat regularly for over a year with a XP media center pc using an analog pci tuner card by Hauppauge. I have posted some of my problems in that same thread as well as a few others on The Green Button. Microsoft representatives have come and gone, some saying a fix was on the way, only to be told a month or two later by a new MS rep. that they are not sure if or when they will fix it. This is an operating system made and advertised as a computer dvr, that actually can't work as a dvr. It goes so far sometimes as to not even let the user watch a show live if the flag is is set in such a way.
  This is one of the longest running problems and threads on the site, yet MS hasn't even officially recognized it with a yea or nay as to what will be done. This is why DRM is viewed as a 4 letter word. I have no use for it, all of these shows are widely available for download all over the internet for free, and in a much higher quality than what media center can record. It just doesn't make much sense. In reply to: "What is blocking Vista users from recording NBC shows?"
