The other shoe inevitably dropped this week in Cablevision's attempt to roll out the "Network DVR" discussed in this previous post.  3 movie studios and the 3 big television networks sued Cablevision (NYT article here), stating that the company didn't have the right to store their programs for use at a later time without obtaining a license first.  It's a big fight since the other cable companies will roll out similar functionality if Cablevision wins the case, possibly diminishing some of the copyrights of the programmers, so expect a long battle.  Cablevision's stock dropped 2% on the news.
