12 MAR, 2005 - 1410 CST My son, Mike, who follows these issues, sent me a URL where I found an article - written in plain English - that explains what is going to happen to the public's ability to make video recordings of HDTV broadcasts after July 1st. Depending on the level of TV technology you are currently using, you may not be immediately affected. But you will be hampered in the future when HDTV becomes commonplace. After you read this article, you might want to make a complaint to your federal representatives. Complaining to the FCC won't do any good. 73 - Dick, W9GIG
