Well, it could be those guys at FSN because their parent corp are a bunch of ######bags. It is possible over HDMI for the broadcaster to just mark an HD broadcast as being broadcast only, and trusted components in the DVR will make a note of it and say, oops, I can't do that for you. http://www.eff.org/related/3499/blog?page=3

Ah the march of technology, where the legitimate consumer is treated as a pirate and worse. It's been in there for 3 years now.

Anyways you should prepare the lube now, as incidences like this will occur more frequently, as either NHL or Fox will want you to bend over and take it and subscribe to yet another service to watch something that you should have been able to determine on your own.
