A couple of weeks ago the Police State show vanished and now every one is gone. I'm pissed. Anyone else have this happen?

Maybe consider getting an old fashioned VCR? I have VCR tapes over 30 years old that play with a little drop out but just fine otherwise.

Many products you "buy" these days are not safe. If you check the legalese BS when you "buy" it, you'll find it full of crap so that they can, BRICK your device (send it a remote kill signal) Delete your stuff Spy on you This includes, I-Phones, Tablets, smartphones, DVR recorders, game consoles, even software. This is why it is important to support open software solutions such as Linux. You can make a free DVR player via linux, which is not included in the government/corporate spy grid. |

Electronic delivery of information - videos and books - can easily be 'unpublished' and disappear from your devices. Remember when Amazon yanked back all copies of Orwell's 1984? Nothing like printed pages for a book. They can't yank it back as easily as your 'kindle' book. Likewise; saving video on your cable-connected DVR is not 'having' the video. It's having a link to the video. Download, archive and you own it. Amazon apologizes for deleting Kindle e-books Tom Krazit CNET News Mon, 07 Sep 2009 00:24 UTC http://news.cnet.com/8301-30684_3-10345639-265.html  In an apology, Amazon has offered to redeliver copies of George Orwell novels that were mistakenly deleted from Kindle owners' libraries, or provide a gift certificate or check for $30.
In July, Amazon received a torrent of criticism--not to mention a lawsuit http://news.cnet.com/8301-13577_3-10300963-36.html --over its decision to delete http://news.cnet.com/8301-13577_3-10300963-36.html copies of 1984 and Animal Farm from Kindles after it discovered that certain versions of those e-books were added to the Kindle library by an unauthorized publisher. However, the move to erase lawfully purchased copies of books written about the overreaching hand of a central authoritarian government struck some as funny, and others as outrageous.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos apologized for the move in an e-mail to Kindle owners on Thursday, a copy of which was provided to CNET News by a reader.
"This is an apology for the way we previously handled illegally sold copies of 1984 and other novels on Kindle. Our 'solution' to the problem was stupid, thoughtless, and painfully out of line with our principles. It is wholly self-inflicted, and we deserve the criticism we've received. We will use the scar tissue from this painful mistake to help make better decisions going forward, ones that match our mission," Bezos wrote.
Those who purchased the deleted copies can e-mail kindle-response@amazon.com to declare whether they would like another copy, or the $30 gift certificate or check (include your address if you want a check). Amazon said the copies would be returned with annotations, perhaps in hopes of satisfying the student who filed a lawsuit against Amazon after he lost his class notes when the e-book disappeared. |

More attention definately needs to be paid to what the EULA's say. Typically the software folks offer the products as a rental of their Leaseware. You don't actually buy anything but the right to personally use their stuff as they see fit. The whole "cloud computing" thing is based on that model. They are trying to protect their copyrights, and at the same time setting up the system where they determine how and with what people use the internet and computer software. Linux might be great for independent software and actually owning something, but all bets are off once you go online, because that is their domain, literally, and by using their hardware and software, you are forced to agree to their terms or EULA's. In the end, even open source is subject to their digital beast system. Things like the online storage and backup services like "Carbonite" that are being offered is all a part of the overall "jacking in" of society to the digital grid. Got analog? |

well on my sky hd dvr it will automatically delete the oldest recordings if the hard drive is getting full, you can turn that feature off in the settings menu though. i would think most dvr's have a similar feature.
