====ATSC broadcast==== [[ATSC]] television broadcasting is primarily used in North America. The ATSC data stream can be directly recorded by a digital video recorder, though many DVRs record only a subset of this information (that can later be transferred to [[DVD]]). An ATSC DVR will also act as a [[set-top box]], allowing older televisions or monitors to receive digital television. =====Copy protection===== The U.S. [[Federal Communications Commission|FCC]] attempted to limit the abilities of DVRs with its "[[broadcast flag]]" regulation. Digital video recorders that had not won prior approval from the FCC for implementing "effective" [[digital rights management]] would have been banned from [[interstate commerce]] from July 2005, but the regulation was struck down on May 6, 2005.
