jigawho,
I suggest making a new thread. your request is sort of a drift from the thread topic.

But to answer your question in layman's terms. A long, long, time ago congress passed laws saying consumers should be able to purchase their own equipment to receive Cable TV. In the years since that law was passed The Cable industry, has thrown up technical hurdles and poor support. Today as computers and digital technology is making every other aspect of life easier, the Movie and Cable industries have created a nightmare of technologies "to protect their rights." Today as we make the transition to digital TV it is all but impossible for non-technical people to record digital TV without renting equipment from their Cable Company. They've spat in the face of the laws.

Corrected: They've put money in the hands of the lawmakers
