The Federal Communications Commission's Broadcast Flag mandate is set to come in to force on 1st July, if legal challenges fail to stop it. The Broadcast Flag will place severe restrictions on consumers' ability to view HDTV content in the way that suits them and it will stop you from recording some HDTV programs altogether.The Broadcast Flag rule will make it illegal for anyone to ship any device capable of demodulating HDTV signals unless it listens for and respects the flag inserted into broadcasts by copyright holders.
