PVRs

[Gene Dascher]

Just remember that this is the same issue brought up YEARS ago about VCRs,
and how they were going to be the downfall of the Motion Picture and
Television industries; in reality, they just added another revenue stream to
the studios.  I'm sure that some level headed Motion Picture/TV exec
somewhere will find a way to exploit the PVRs for their income potential and
they will multiply in the land like rabbits!
