Broadcast Flag Redux

The SF Guardian has a lay person friendly article about the FCC's pending broadcast flag regulation I referred to earlier. In it it refers to the EFF sponsored "Build Ins" that are happening around the country. Basically we have until July 1 to legally build our own HDTV recorder without the broadcast flags. Hmmm. I wonder if I know anyone who has experience with Linux who might find this fun (whose initials are V.A.U.)?
