Sage and BTV record in mpeg or mpeg transport streams that can be played on any PC or hardware media player and can be freely edited and/or converted to any format that you wish.

That's a file format issue, not a DRM issue per se. The wtv spec is out there, it's just that most video editing/mangling tools haven't caught up to it yet.

You can't do ANYTHING to a DRM protected wtv file.

Mike, the R5000 is a whole another story. Let's leave that for some other time.
That's not the point of discussion here anyway.
