From ISPs to drive traffic? It’s the only sane reason I can think of for their otherwise business-ending-ly moronic decisions which do nothing but encourage bit torrent. Seriously.

DirecTV DVR clampdown: a sober reminder of DRM suckitudeDirecTV DVR owners got some bad news from the satellite TV provider recently when the company announced that it will break some of the existing functionality of the DVRs. Effective April 15, subscribers will only have 24 hours to watch pay-per-view movies recorded to their DVRs. Once the movies are purchased, the clock starts ticking, and after 24 hours, the PPV movie saved to your DVR will become nothing more than an unreadable collection of zeros and ones.
