They've changed everything. Well, their disclaimer says that things are liable to change at any time.   "Recording with PlayOn Cloud is legal, and you can record from many sources, including Hulu, Prime, HBO, Netflix, Showtime, etc."     The big media companies would like to make it illegal if they could.  From what I've read, the actual legal status of POC downloaded videos is still a little iffy.   "Please be advised that using apps such as VideoDownloadHelper to record shows is actually illegal and that the MPAA and other agencies do crack down on such things."   A quote from the POC CEO:   "We've looked a lot at legal precedent," Lawrence says. "We've looked at when the DVR came to market, and generally speaking, other than some noise, it really wasn't challenged."     What's good for POC should apply to VDH also. AFAIK neither are paying the media companies royalties.   I fail to see any real difference between POC and VDH other than cost,  either way you end up with your own personal copy, which the media companies absolutely hate, because you can make another copy, and give it to your friends, etc.     There are a lot of things that are technically illegal.  For example, I've ripped my whole CD music collection down to MP3s and have copies on two different computers and in each of my vehicles.  The day a SWAT team shows up to confiscate my illegal music or my illegal videos, is the day I'll join the new American Revolution!     BTW "Please be advised..."  Sounds like radio talk from my old Military Police days. Just wondering, were you a fellow MP? "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." William Shakespeare   ... View more
