Why can't you fast-forward with a Comcast PVR?
If you own a Comcast PVR you may be in for a surprise when you record American Idol or 24. Some users of these boxes report that they can't fast-forward through their recorded episodes of the shows. While Comcast denies any shenanigans, I am confident that there is a flag lurking in the Comcast PVR's guts that lets broadcasters disable the fast-forward button, the record button and all other features. Another reason to build your own MythTV.
