PVRblog is reporting that some users are noticing a red-flag icon on shows that have been previously broadcasted and presented with “the copyright holder prohibited saving the episode past date mm/dd” when attempting to record the episode (additional info and screenshots here). “Now, many people are saying this is probably a mistake on the part of a Fox affiliate station. They added macrovision ‘do not copy’ tags to the show streams when they shouldn’t have, but there was no workaround for the TiVo owner and it demonstrates what could very well happen in the near future with TiVos and other sorts of PVR devices,” says Matt Haughey.
