The video is dead. Itâs official, although I imagine the mourning period will go on for several years yet. Dixons, the big UK electrical goods chain, has announced it will sell its existing stock of VCRs and then call it a day.

Sky+ functionality... on Freeview Review Possibly the biggest obstacle on the path to truly mass-market adoption of digital video recorders (DVRs), or personal video recorders (PVRs) - is that many don't know what they actually are. Sure, some know they are a bit like Sky+, but many Sky+ onwers don't know what that box does either. To those of us who are PC literate the notion of the hard drive-based media recorder is pretty simple. Try explaining it to your Gran though.â¦

As part of InfoWorld's effort to save Windows XP from being discontinued on June 30, we're encouraging IT staffers as well as individual users to contribute their own videos on why XP should be saved. (Our plea is serious, but why not have some fun at the same time, right?) To help meet the goal of spreading the word about the "Save XP" petition effort, we do ask that each video show the www.SaveXP.com URL.We'll post the best entries in our site's video library through June 30, but if you get yours in by May 15 and we deem it one of the top three submissions we receive, we?ll give you a Windows XP upgrade license.Videos must be in Flash, QuickTime, or AVI formats, at 320-by-240-pixel size. E-mail a link to your video to Executive Editor Galen Gruman.

Plextor's new ConvertX PVR turns a Mac or PC into a digital video recorder. It's a slick product that's easy to set up and use. But inexplicably, the PVR is crippled in a fundamental way. By Leander Kahney.

I'm sorry to see that my blog entry on recent controversies over freedom turned into a thread about TiVo. But since TiVo seems to be such a hot button, I would like to address that issue directly. I made the point in the discussion that TiVo did not license its hardware under the GPL (duh, GPL is a software license, after all), or even a GPL-like license.  So all the fuss about what rights you have with respect to TiVo hardware is nonsense.  Sure, you have the right to modify the hardware because you bought it.  But you will void your warranty, and TiVo is under no obligation to provide you with the schematic, BIOS, or anything else to make it easy to modify the hardware.  Having said that, let's cut through all the posturing about what rights we have, and get to the real issue here, which is what motivated TiVo to use a digital signature, and what would motivate people to modify the TiVo software and run the modified version on a TiVo box.
