That doesn't make it suck any less, however.
Actually if full Digital Rights Management is implemented the content producer will be able to set the terms. They could allow you to record, set it so you had to watch the program within a certain amount of time or block recording all together. If the producer of a show decided that instead of your timeshifting (and skipping the commercials) on a program that comes on while you are at work he'd rather you have to wait until the end of the year and buy the season discs all he'd have to do is set the DRM to block recording.

Of course there will be gadgets to get around this BS, even if it involves converting digital to analog (and that's another whole ballgame of sucks )
