"While MSOs risk losing some of their DVR customers if fast-forwarding were blocked"

Some? My DVR will go in the crapper the moment that FF is disabled. Of course, if it is only for ABC, that isn't a problem...there is zero on that network that I watch.

This would destroy the DVR market. This is one segment of the hard drive industry that is actually expanding, especially with HDTV DVRs. Regardless of what ABC decides, I am sure that a patch would be available for download on the Net to disable the function.
