I read (or heard) somewhere that they plan to encrypt the (digital) tv signal here, so you can't record it. Like the Brits, we pay a hefty sum every month to just be able to watch tv and listen to the radio. And that's just for the basic package (if you want more (non-standard) channels, you have to pay more). Every tv and radio station has to pay a certain amount of money for the right to play music and TV shows (which have to be bought in the first place).
So, what they would love you to do is to buy your series if you missed the show on TV.

If I choose to switch to say a Kindle in a couple years, I'm screwed.

I will buy DRM'd books, but will de-DRM them as soon as I get them. It might be illegal, but I refuse to be stuck to one device...
