[wplug] V-TV Day!

[Patrick Wagstrom]

Hey Everyone!

I just thought I'd let everyone know that the broadcast flag was struck
down today.  This means you'll be able to continue to buy devices that
let you exercise your fair use rights over HDTV after July 1.  It also
means that you don't need to stock up on HDTV tuner cards for MythTV
boxes before that July 1 date.

The court decision:

Background on broadcast flag (not neutral):

So yeah, it means if you missed out on the HDTV tuner order, you may
still be in luck.
