Digital television

User wish for to keep the right to time- and space-shift that the VCR has given us (against Hollywood's protest). User want to keep the fair use rights that let us excerpt clips from press conferences or make our own "Daily Show" from the evening news. That's why we're cheering people to buy HDTV tuner cards now and build multi-function receivers and recorders around them.

The MythTV development has built a terrific personal video recorder (PVR) platform that gives a GNU/Linux PC features like TiVo's pause live TV and "season pass" recording. These are immense for geeks, and we're looking for volunteers to help make the combination more accessible to the general public.

There are also a number of alternatives for Windows and Macintosh computers that present similar features. We still require volunteers to help make these products more accessible to more people.
