Being such a big fan of the "Law & Order-esque" type shows, and being one of the "early to bed, early to rise" school, I decided last night to record CSI: Miami for early morning viewing over the first cup of the day. All going according to plan, I slap the tape into the VCR to watch my program, and .. check this out ... there was no audio .. only video. Seeking further confirmation of this, I tried a different VCR with the same results. On further investigation, I discovered that the audio for the commercials came through clear as a bell, but when the program resumes, the audio was again muted ... how strange. Deductive reasoning would logically reveal that either my cable company, of the purveyors of the program, have somehow engineered the broadcast as to discourage taping - an offshoot of the file-sharing controversy, no doubt ...but my question is this: when a program is recorded onto a VCR, is this not registered as a "View" by those who compile such statistics? Can the software that "pings" the destination of a program perceive the difference between a VCR that is recording a program and a television that is actually being watched? Yikes ... Big Brother is really out there! I welcome the sharing of info from anyone with knowledge in this area - my curiosity is truly piqued! Privacy is the right to be alone  the most comprehensive of rights, and the right most valued by civilized man.  Louis D. Brandeis THANKS FOR READING THIS FAR!
