The way I understand it - the broadcast flag is supposed to allow for one recording - i.e. to a PVR. The set-top box manufacturers have built in the capability to record shows flagged in this manner, but they do not output these shows via the firewire outputs.

My guess is that since MS knows that once something is recorded to the hard drive someone is going to be able to get it off means that they built a hard restriction into the OS.
