Like I said initially, Apple would much rather charge you $1.00 per show that
allow you to store it on its hard drive, after receiving it FOTA. But that is
precisely what the author of the article, and I, were complaining about, Craig.
All you are saying is that you prefer te model that allows Apple to make more
money. And yes, of course, it is possible to add a second box for OTA
recording. Which makes the Apple box that much less appealing.

Or you can just say no to the monthly tithes. The guy who buys an expensive
sports car doesn't get a lot of sympathy when he complains about the high
maintenance costs. Know what I mean? The schemes you seem to advocate, walled
gardens of one sort or other every single time, are a perfect recipe for
excesses of greed.
