Broadcast flag

Copy-protection scheme for over-the-air DTV broadcasts that restricts recording of “flagged” shows. Its function applies only to digital outputs on DTV devices, specifically DTV receivers, TVs, and PC-based DTV tuner cards. Forthcoming flag-compliant products will refuse to digitally output/transfer any flagged show to a nonflagged legacy device or software.
