Isn't that the point, by using GIP we are only using another type of
recording device to record content from the BBC. I could buy a DigitalTV
today, connect a external HD to it and record digital TV and store it
for as long I wish. The only difference by using GIP is that I am
recording programs that have been aired in the past 30 days, not live
broadcasts.
Would it be worth trying to start some dialogue with the BBC (not sure
if this has already been tried ?) to see if there is a way they (GIP
developers) could work together and have GIP as a recognised 3rd party
product or just accepted for Nitro. As it has proved in the last few
days, the BBC changes things people will find a way to get over these
changes, by closing doors, it only makes people more determined.
If the BBC wanted to they could shut down GIP today by appling DRM to
all content streaming (like Netflix and Prime) so I cannot see by
starting any dialogue, how that would change anything as they already
know about GIP, we are not telling them something they don't know about.
