Apparently the latest version of ReplayTV's digital video recorder has cut out previous version features such as the ability to share shows and skip ads. Digital Networks North America who acquired the brand from the sued-into-oblivion SonicBlue don't want to get into similar hot water with the entertainment industry. The movie industry are pleased suggesting it is "a step in the right direction." The EFF are less so, ``There's a pretty clear message being sent that Hollywood can dictate what technologies consumers can and cannot use. What we are concerned about is there's little room for technological innovation.''
