Will the public be able to buy DVR’s capable of recording HDTV without DRM management chips

Ok I must confess I am not fully up to speed on this topic but the more I read the more I am getting the picture of things to come. We all know that by July 15th 2005 all DVR must have a DRM technology embedded to block recording of HDTV shows and non HDTV programming that has a broadcaster inserted flag in the video stream.

The referenced Slashdot article does not go into detail but the early adopters hoping to get a DVR capable of recording HDTV before the chips are installed are worried.

I will be looking into this a bit and would appreciate comment from those of you that have a HDTV and an DVR. [Slashdot]
