So how do you get around all the legal uncertainty while giving TV viewers the ability to take the same shows they recorded on their DVR available on a portable device? You make a DVR that doubles as a portable device. That’s what Comcast and Panasonic have done with AnyPlay, a new device revealed at CES. AnyPlay can record up to 60 hours of standard-def video and also plays DVDs and CDs. And it docks right into your cable service (that photo shows the AnyPlay docked) so it also acts as your at-home DVR and cable set-top box. Not as cool as an iPod, is it?
