Ofcom are asking people if the BBC should be allowed to apply their proposed  programme listing DRM. Whether responding will do any good, I don’t know, but it can’t do any harm…

Note that as they’re not proposing DRMing the *content*, just the programme guide (by restricting knowledge of the decompression tables) . It won’t affect me or my recording system whatsoever, in fact, I’d give it about a week till someone figures out the missing information and releases it :)

It could be viewed as the start of a slippery slope though.
