Not surprised at all that NBC was the ones who first used this technology. They are the biggest dinosaurs in the television industry. Instead of opting to adapt to a new world, they are invest in ways to slow down progress. I think it will backfire on them as they'll find less people willing to invest themselves in a particular TV show if they have to miss weeks worth of programming because thier PVR can't record it. I sure as heck don't have time to ensure that I'm in front of a TV at a set time every week in a Television season, so I'll just opt not to follow programming in which I can't pre-record episodes and watch at my own leisure. Then I cease to be a viewer.
