Why did Direct TV change up their DVR policy on the Music Chanels?
-
Once upon a time, a year and some change ago, you could pause the Direct TV music channels. Now, sadly, you no longer can. It was bad enough when they replaced their straight forward stations with "XM radio stations" or whatever, but what really sucks is not being able to pause it, write down what the artist said, or just get a friend in the living room to hear what got you so excited in the first place. Now you cannot pause these channels, nor a lot of times even get an accurate description of what song is playing. Are they trying to make this feature suck on purpose, or is the desperate RIAA breathing pathetic cheetoh breath over things they no longer understand, like the fact that if a person likes a song so much on radio that they pause it and replay it, chances are good that they will look up and purchase the album the songs came from (I would). Or are they really just that stupid? Maybe I am taking this wrong, but for I'd like all responders to know that once upon a time if you had a DVR you could stop and play the music channels just like a show, but now you can no longer, and it really sucks.

Answer:
The RIAA is the right direction, but not entirely. You see, the rights DirecTV has for those channels, is only to play them live. Being able to DVR them would make the music a bit more "on demand", which the RIAA wants providers to pay a higer rate for, a rate DirecTV apparently does not want to pay.
