Which is the point I'm sure. Companies realize that preventing hacking is like preventing auto theft/burglary: It is impossible to prevent 100%. The trick is to make it so difficult that the average (and even most of the above average) users will find something else to hack.
Which, of course, means that there WILL be some who will have hacked HDVR2 units at some point!
