Freeview plus defective by design?

No drm on the old tv sets

Freeview plus is one of those adaptive technology that in theory allows you watch and record something else, without resorting to getting a phd in trying to record something with a video recorder which depending on lack of scart sockets, and tuners means it can be a very hit and miss business with channels, timers on several things and multiple points of failure.

Somehow i doubt it will be needed since most of tv is rubbish but it is how it is advertised that should give you all a warning – it suggests you can record some crap bbc show and an itv soap opera*.

Notice that films are not in that list, to me that suggests evil drm and of no use.

* why would you want to record such junk ?
