TiVo won't keep your recordinds

Across the pond, copyright is being twisted to an ever-more unbalanced state, with networks being able to pull recordinds out of your living room: TiVo will delete shows on broadcaster's command.
Similar future looms for EU, if the legislation being proposed for Finland's updated copyright law passes: for example, having bought an audio CD you would not have the right to make a backup or copy the songs to your iPod.
Once again, it shows that sometimes it just is better to build things yourself. My MythTV box is not going to delete a show on anyone's command but mine.
