EFF Says Microsoft is Complying with NBC Broadcast Flags

Ed Oswald, BetaNews

One user has reported that while attempting to record TV shows from Raleigh's WNCN high definition channel -- the NBC affiliate in the area -- an alert shows up saying that the broadcaster has disabled recording of the programming.
