First of all,
to Satelliteguys.us! Now, what kind of drm are you seeing? I'm not sure what kind - if any drm Cinemax has infected their programming with.
Well, yes I'm sure. But what FORM was what I was interested in. Time limits like most of the PPVs? One copy like HBO?
There was discussion of it quite some time ago, but the only thing that actually ended up happening was the sabotaging of PPV to impose a 24hr limit. HBO says they have a 1 copy rule implemented on their shows. You can keep one copy as long as you want, but you can't make multiple digital copies. Nobody has sabotaged the HD stream by downrezzing component yet. I was curious if the OP was talking about some new implementation. I do wish he'd elaborate.
so it i can keep my cinemax recordings on my box as long as i want. i read about this on dish networks site in their limited recording section. it said ppv hbo and cinemax were the only channels using drm
Drm is a very broad term. It can refer to an number of types of sabotage of a given program. As far as I've seen, and nobody here has said to the contrary, any drm on the premium channels is not the type that sets time limits. Believe me, if they'd have started that, this place would have gone nuts. In fact, here is the part of the HBO web site which deals with this. http://www.hbo.com/corpinfo/faq/cgmsfaq.shtml They apparently are only interested in enforcing a single copy rule. Time limits are nowhere mentioned.

On my 625? I've never seen it. On my 622, I see Macrovision often from random things on HBO and Cinemax (and of course PPV) even for analog copies from S-Video/composite to my DVD recorder.
Since the subject has been brought up, what exactly does Macrovision affect? I know that you can't record s-video or composite to a DVD recorder that observes the standard, but what about recording component to a Hauppauge 1212?
All well and good but I have to ask...How would one have more than one copy of a show they DVR'd from HBO? Its either on your DVR OR on your EHD...am I missing something?
Its quite possible to record (and keep) a show more than once on your DVR, not to mention having multiple recordings of it also on an EHD.
