    "Lying dormant in virtually every digital cable box in America is 
    technology that can prevent viewers from recording certain programs to 
    watch them later. 

    Soon, several Hollywood studios are planning to tell cable operators to 
    flip the switch. 

    People who have become accustomed to recording pay-per-view and video-on-
    demand shows will likely still be able to, the studios say — as long as 
    they pay an extra fee. "
