Microsoft and NBC enforce the nonexistent Broadcast Flag, WTF?!

Vista users are complaining that Media Center refuses to let them record broadcast digital TV shows on NBC.Here's a screenshot of what they're seeing.
After we won the fight to stop the Broadcast Flag three years ago, over-the-air digital TV shouldn't have any copy controls -- and if it did, Microsoft shouldn't have to obey them.
Is it a bug in Vista's DRM systems? Did Microsoft and NBC cut a deal? What other receivers out there are going to obey the broadcasters instead of their owners?
