Do these here video capture cards, here, properly ignore the (US, at 
least) "Broadcast Flag"?  I want to capture for DVR purposes.  I'm not 
interested in defeating copy protection, e.g., Macrovision, or copying 
tapes/DVDs, just want to time shift TV for watching later, and don't 
want to be inconvenienced by network "glitches".
