FMC (Channel 387) Moving to Streaming Only

[Scott Greczkowski]

My mistake, someone posted a week or two ago that recording was now available on the streaming channels.

I didn't try it myself. I just ASSumed that because some people posted it was working that it was working.

Hoppefully SOON <TM>

I don't believe there are any legal issues preventing the recording of streaming content because other platforms have recording capability of the same content. Frndlytv is one example.

Contracts that allow or disallow recording via streaming, could be different between providers.

Of course YTTV would have that since they are all streaming.

Dish is still under a carriage deal, signed with Disney in 2022, that might of never been thought about, since it was all Satellite then.

Might be something that needs to be added to the next contract, which will be this year, I believe October 2025.

Same for other channels also.

I don't believe there are any legal issues regarding recording content from streaming channels. That was made clear way back in the 70's when the courts ruled that people can legally use their VCR's to record content for private purposes.

That was OTA

That was for personal use via OTA.

Has absolutely nothing to do with streaming.

Wow - and to think that I used my VCR for years to record shows from cable tv. I don't think I ever used it to record OTA.

Still has nothing to do with Dish offering DVR ability on streaming content, which is what people were posting about.

And no one brought up VCRs until you did, you wish to use one for recording, go for it, good luck.

Whether it's OTA, cable, satellite, or streaming and how it's recorded is irrelevant. The issue is recording of content, and if it isn't used for commercial purposes, it's perfectly legal.
