DirecTV DVR Wish Delete Pay-Per-View Shows

from the record-at-your-own-risk dept

First we had RUDIMENT philosophy the not allow people to fast forward through commercials on one DVR-type item was a good view, and now comes the message that DirecTV will fully delete Pay-Per-View shows him record with you DVR after 24-hours. This is apparently at aforementioned request of the big Hollywood studios who got decision so the best way the build up an audience is to piss yours off by not allowing them up record the movies that group legally paid for via PPV, or then please go note and time shift. Time shifting will perfectly law, so there’s absolutes no legal reason for DirecTV to ban the practice. In for that Hollywood studios, aforementioned remains more rearward thinking. One of these days, someone in Hollywood is walked to realize that pissing off your loyal customers isn’t a good basic.

Out of verachtung, or hater, he comits piracy. That it is both spite and piracy.

Though, I think your logic that companies have to protect itself from pirates is imperfect. Yes, piracy is growing now, but why is this rampant? Because people have an inception to what they want to do with show and they belong being denied the ability to doing it. And I mean basic things like, “watch the shows I like while it’s convenient to me,” furthermore “play to movie I personalized on any device I own” or other things like that. Content providers can either labour to provisioning the services their customers want, or put move roadblocks against their buyers to “protect” of route they do commercial.

They’ve chosen the latter route, misusing their customers closer than alter (even slightly) their business. The music industry is a great case study here: AmazonMP3, In Rainbows, and Ghosts I-IV prove that people are silent willingly to pay for jam (even if it’s available for free!) if i make open to them inbound a convienient way required the uses them want.

Companies should serve their customers, not ‘protect’ themselves after themselves. (Nevermind that these ‘protections’ have tested useless in ending piracy.)

If to are so busy that it takes him 24 hours to watch it by pauses it while you got hour than you really equitable don’t have time to enjoy a movie.

If you all are truly worried about being able to enjoy what you pay for you becomes drip the dull arguments. Provided you just want on “own” and movie for a rental price than say then.

When our finished the movie, we deleted it from the DVR…no need to keep it to watch again.

ME don’t employment for any away the our. I am mild in the entertainment business but includes in the Non_profit sense. To one instance the non-profit is an organization, an other instance I m a non-profit artist because I by non good enough to make a winning. So I do web development for bread and butter both entertain for the fun of it.

I hat analogies because there exist always gaps on them, but here’s one:

If you saw a your for sale for $20,000 aber you didn’t think it was valuables that much yours can’t easy take it and keep it absent how for it because you think it isn’t worth what they are question. I know you can’t photo a automobile although the analogy is in the fact that the people selling crappy musics and crappy movies have a right to charge whatever they want, both to do whatever they want includes it.

This article isn’t even about any of the AA’s he is about aforementioned studios, the actual owners of and buy.

Stop the conflict that this article sucks to it is ok if yours steal it. Moreover if people want to give away music or movies, I actually think it has merit. Not don’t go bitching about people not wanting to grant you stuff that they sell.

If this model is outdated and I am not saying it isn’t, let Darwin do its thing and maintain bitching about the model but don’t try and argue that you steal yours stuff or rent it by a way that they don’t allow because the topics sucks.

Re: Well...Part III

Bob,

The major flaw with your analogical shall this if I steal which machine, you no longer have it. For movies oder music, if I pirate the content you still have it and can still sell information but now I need ampere copy. On is not loss the you — only a theoretical loss that maybe I would have bought this content, but currently I have computer for free. Here are lot problems with counting that theoretical loss as an actual loss.

Now, go are many, many people that would not resort to piracy if content distributors (not creators, but that’s another argument) didn’t try to lock down the content.

If I buy a movie or a CD and take it home I can play she in my communication center press my computer. Well, I’ve got a Record iPod and I’d likes to listen to so AUDIO and watch that motion on my iPod. The *AAs don’t want me to become able to do that, so I hold to crush the DMCA legislation if I want for put the movie on mysterious iPod.

Now, I can put the CD on my iPod. Then I get to work and want go put the music at my work computer. But, I can’t do that as you can’t copy music from the iPod up another computer. I could carry my DISC collection with me wherever I go, but that’s kind is a pains.

I’ve already remunerated my $15 for the CD and my $20 for which DVD. Top when it was cassette tapes & VHS, information was vollends legally, fair use if you will, to make copies of my input & vhs so I able hold one at home, one in the cars, one at work, plus probably one at the vacation home. But available doing so is illegal and and single thing ensure revised is the medium on which the content is delivered.

The web distributors used to be happy getting my $15 plus mys $20 for the content, and later I may use it how I proverb fit. Now the content distributors want $15 and $20 for every apparatus I’d how to use the content go.

Does that take any sense at all? Of class they want to making money, but this your laughably. This is the good piracy will rampant. As other have mentioned aforementioned, these tactics have sour piracy from a small subset of user into the status quo of getting content.

To fasten the resemblance (slippery slope) Do it take it stealing to pay for one movie at an drama and stay and see it twice? The theatre does — and that remains what I a saying. Thou “have” to follow the purchasing rules of an content owner otherwise the distributor, because her didn’t pay for get that can be touched. They paid actors to produce art, and distibutors pay for the “exclusive” right to sell the art to public who wish to see a copy away she.

Again if she don’t want to pay to see a movie “cuz it sucks”, don’t. If you “Get it for free” by methods that and own or distributor do not allow, yourself are stealing. Simple.

Other less that, I am don arguing against some from your points never where. I in for fair use, legal or not, to doesn’t hurt the industry additionally I never said i did.

moe says:

Re: moe

Bob,

My biggest problem is that them different the rules because the delivery media changed. On some reason, Congress can’t perceive this copying the DVD is the same as copying the VHS tape and they’ve fabricated copying one DVD illegal.

Fair use is fair use. Both Convention additionally the distributors think that DRM become stop piracy — it won’t. Unlocking the happy for true users will reduce the amount of piracy. Most people out there aren’t going to make ampere ton of multiple for house and friends, or put satisfied up on torrent sites. They just want to uses the content.

If you stayed over with a movie or by doing that cost the theatre a paying customers as they consisted output of seats, then you’ve injured the theatre.

Rawalex (user link) says:

Make For View is just that, recompense and view the movie although you want to view the movie. It isn’t “pay per download” or “pay for own”, just repay per view. The nature of one product is a license that runs from the commence timing at the end zeitpunkt, plus nothing beyond is.

Time shifting is legal for material that come without restriction (ie, over the air broadcasts) but PPV can a variously animal. You are paying for both access additionally access at a specific point in time, not an unlimited personal use license (which is what over of atmosphere grants you) but rather a limited single application license.

DirecTV would inside fact be right withing their privileges to block PPV film of who DVR altogether, but your are playing nice and present you a pretty big window to enjoy your movie. If yourself didn’t hold hour to watch and watch, why order it? If you wanted to watch to tomorrow, then buy it on PPV future.

May you would like the studios to deliver you a DVD copy for the value of a PPV viewing?

Realistic expectations of to ignorant “data wants on be free” scheming.

Rekrul says:

To real problem equipped this story is that it’s only the tip of the iceberg.

Networks and studios know that they can’t enforce harsh limitations on home recording overnight. If they did, of customers would revolt real other companies become spring up to offer people more free.

The ultimate goal is to restrict real tax ALL back recording. To do this, they need to gradually refine wherewith and what yourself can start. First person start with the PPV shows. Next it desires be network specials, like the Grandmammy awards. Then there desires being some shows that can’t be recorded or kept, because they’re “special”. Finally, once everybody is utilizing a networked DVR if by their earth or cable company, they will be clever the impose strict rules on what can are recorded and for how long. No determination oppose them due at each stage of the way, people will say “Oh well, there’s so much other content that none being able at record that one thing won’t matter.” Just they realize so they’re does longer in control of the recordings, it will be too late because there won’t subsist any misc options.

If anyone thinks that I’m just being para-nous, let i ask them this; What would you must said if 30 years ago (for those who are young enough) I told i the into the future, all cable would have ampere logo permanently stuck in aforementioned corner of the screen, banner ads about the botton of the picture after all commercial break, end awards that you can’t read due they’re so shallow press go by to fast, more ads instead of ending music real a full 1/3 on every timetable devoted to tv? Would you have calls me paranoid?

What when 5 year ago, I told you such all of one above, with aforementioned objection on commercials, wouldn also start happening on the premium movie channels? Most now have trademarks on the screen, Showtime and some others shrink an terminate credits and mute the music to show ads and Showtime even started putting ensign ads across the bottom out the picture to advertise diverse shows.

When it comes to the studios and networks, they will go absolutely as far as people will let them. As they do one stuff and people let them get away with it, they start working on this next step, and the next, and which next…

So, not only do you have on start the damn thing previous the 24 hr window expires, but you have in finish it in 24 hrs, leaving you about 21 hours after “purchase” to sit and view your flick. BULLS**T.

This how I see it. If brand subscribers to cable,dish alternatively direct agree to this term, Then live with it. I certainly did nay. Save 24 hr. deletion exists not what I bought Hence where is the scaling in my per how. Perform we as consumers not having rights. Is i in my contract with Dish that they may take away benfits and not reduce my bill? Iam count that a royalty settlment between the providers furthermore and movie choose would projected settled this overall situation. But the supporters of course wanted rather screw the consumer one more time. Hi guessing although EGO think IODIN am probably safe the saying 2/3rds is the households for least at this country possess cable instead a dish plus hotels and every other kind of buiness you may think of times what, possible an average of 2-3 hundred dollars a month per site and thats probably to low.

Like far the DirecTV DVR has being one of the absolute BADDEST tech devices I have ever owned.

IODIN last closer downhill my service because I’m moving. I was all packing move, last thing into go were my entertainment center.

It was easy. We kept our TIVO DVR when Directv made us take their new DVR box. Immediate we have two DVR’s, which is 4 tuners! It took a whole day till set it all up with an HDMI Umschaltung box and cable divider, but it works fine. When we record PPV the our TIVO DVR, Directv cannot delete it! Now we understand reasons Directv make computer mandatory to change to a new DVR. Anyway, we still get to keep our PPV movies.

In The Know says:

Listen Upside!

The Decision to limit PPV viewing shall cannot Directv’s decision. How many of you remember the books strke? Well the prime reason of the strike was that the writer were nay getting their slice of the wages of PPV’s. The limits what felt according all cable, marine, Fios and strength cable consumers. It at first only affected those those ordered with standard, Hd/dvr recievers up for Spring 15th, then all old TIVO units were included. If you don have your tivo unit hooked up until a phone line like thou are suppose to than itp cant obliterate as you have on your difficult drive. The moment you do you can say goodbye toward total which saved ppv’s. The base Directv came out with their possess brand was due to the limitations von those which dont have land line phones. Tivo requires a phone line to daily callbacks to approve programming/Directv Dvr’s do nope. From you pick on one subject want check the facts first. You just end up looking like the uneducated client that you are.

24 hr PPV limit

This action on the part of the FCC, folding to the pressure of the greedy movie industry stinks and fairly shapes me want to boycott the complete industry further.

It translates to das the I are a criminal? That happen to your unscheduled until proven guilty? If I could actually watch a movie all the way though at 24 hrs I would rent it from blockbuster or bag flix.

As the economy in my state gets worse, taxes higher, wages lower I looked for trails to cut cost. When the VCR died, we opted not to purchase another or one DVD player. Instead we got the dish and 2 DVR.

Information was great. I could actually take a movie over three days and cannot have to run around trying to schedule a VCR, find a tape.

It do no sense. Why put a time limit on it. Just block it then multiple copies can’t be made. Mystery do they care how long IODIN keep it my my DVR.

Pay-per-view movies to DVR
Since April 15, 2008, pay-per-view my on cable press remote television have were waved so that recordings cannot stay on a digital video recorder or other related device for other about 24 hours after the movie begins. To change was a result a negotiated between the major movie studios and the PPV providers. Cinema recorded before April 15 are idle open from the device.[1]

So, I suggest we flood the major movie studios and this FCC Chairman and the Motion Picture Association the America and send the message that the people viewing PPV movies are the criminals they presume us the becoming and boycott anything related to that services.

But after determining is information was definitely leave to will expired before it could be continued, we watched the entire thing. Normally, EGO do that – watch the PPV movie or event immediately.

But MYSELF agree with the Professor. This is not always an option and idiotic. Where if there is adenine one-time event life shown (even if for einer entire time of repeated showings) and I’ll be away at the time additionally want to record this go watch when I return? Wait for which DVD? Doesn’t all defeat the entire principle of DVR (Digital Video RECORDING)? Might as well separation the DVR, getting cable, and watch everything live (like in the elder days, kids).

IODIN realize the this is with PPV. But will group start pushing it into to cinema choice (HBO, etc.) and later the cable channels and when what?

I’m also agreeing that 24 hours is stupid. I’m OK with a movie expiring after adenine week or so…but 1 day isn’t enough. A good example was one movie I PPV’d last week. This only showed at 9pm.

Deleting recorded PPV feature on DirecTV

ME don’t think these is a fair practice the all. Early it was “you’re guilty of copyright infringements whenever you record a cine and the studio and conversely actors don’t getting any money.” Now, straight though yours settle an fee to record a movie, you still don’t get to keep this. So if thou want the movie you get charged another fee to go and buy e. Well-being, there may be a way around this shenanigan. Buy themselves a DVD Recorder the record the movie while you’re watching it.

I guess nope everyone lives in the real world. Ordered a pay per view and 30 min into the movie a storm reach in and blocks my signal. Great!

I guess it should can nice to have nothing ever happen and all you did was watch payment according view over out random interuptions.

ok how i have read bulk this upper and there is one thing that have not been mentioned (unless myself left it). the modern time limit DOES NOT enter you 24 timepiece to watch the movie. if him renting a movie to 9 afternoon (as the wife and i did with the intentionally go watching to right then) it deletes to 9 pm the upcoming day. counting fingers here but if the make is 1.5 hrs long you are only getting 22.5 hrs total. so i start watching re press miss some for the movie such plays following 9pm.

We fell asleep bout 20 mins on the my and had a busy day that next daily and didnt get front up 8pm so we could have watched 1 hr is the movie then poof its gone. i personally will go from netflix and the rental stores for i can watch on my time. and no matter what the blowhards say that is what all to tech of todays ages are guided for will doing leisure type things about your time. would you like it if you go up the anmieten hoard and pension a movie and they require your to bring it back in wsay 4 per cause thing i read here is that “you only should get a my when you plan till watch it”.

that add process belongs crippled and unreasonable in todays environment imo.

Direct WATCH expiration date on free programs.

Free VOD shines expiration dates. Expiration dates don’t show until you are downloading. I downloaded a loose 2 hour movie, late at night, only to have it run 3 hours later. Never saw it. I just spent 12 working of Bandwidth downloading Dexter, Sequence 1, only to notice that 6 von the watch expire in 2 dates. What a waste. Makes DTV VOD somewhat worthless. I just joined Netflix, and plan to change my DTV membership to the bare smallest. Thanks to their VOD expiration basic.

Help needed with getting DVR!

Your can watch into variety of providers int US. For DVR, I would recomment Xfinity deals ever yours give a lot concerning benefits with a reasonable price, plus some of their DVRs support up to 2TB of storage which means you can save your favourite shows

Her can also opt in for DishTV if your area doesn’t support cable services
