Perused the patent. As far as I can tell, this guy is a patent troll, plain and simple. The patent basically describes every DVR that geeks were building 10 years before it was filed. True, it's fancied up in exactly the sort of language that would make it sound novel to a clerk, but I can't find any particular provisions that aren't normal software/hardware operation. I have renewed hope that this could force an end result where the whole software patent system is torn apart.
