Stuart, are you sure about this? I know that section 27 sub-section 6 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 allows "making a single accessible copy for personal use". Are you saying there has been amendment to this particular clause? I can't seem to find one but I'm no expert on law, I just know the basics, but I would appreciate knowing the latest score regarding all this.
Or are you talking about grabbing the HD content and distributing it? In which case, yes it's definitely illegal. In my case I want to grab the hi-def MOTD highlights of United beating Man U, and I only want to keep it for myself, so there will be no infringement in this respect because I will delete the copy on my Tivo to free up space once I've copied it to my NAS box. I doubt it is something that will ever be released on a Blu-Ray so other than resorting to illegally downloading a torrent, I believe the HDFury/HD PVR combination is currently my only legal (but very expensive) option.
