I suspect that broadcasting a signal that was out of spec to try to
control recording would be doomed to failure.  First off, I wouldn't
record it for "time shift viewing" so I couldn't even see the commercials
at a later time.  I'm sure that the sponsors will care about this.  Late
night movies broadcast this way might loose some of there value to
the advertisers.  Secondly, what about the legal implications of broadcasting
a signal that was deliberately out of spec?
