Comcast, Panasonic unveil portable DVR
Cory Bergman January 7th, 2008
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?

If the RIAA can sue a guy for loading legally purchased CDs onto his own hardrive what kind of trouble could this thing cause?
