Recent interference with Vista Media Center recording was accidental, NBC says. TV viewers last week reported being unable to record episodes of American Gladiators and Medium, and instead receiving messages saying that DRM restrictions had been enabled. This triggered a number of of online complaints, including concerns that NBC was attempting to deter the use of DVRs, which allow people to skip unwanted advertising and other distractions.

"We made an inadvertent mistake," an NBC spokeswoman explains regarding the incident. "We're not aware of any other complaints, and we believe we have addressed the problem."
