A broadcast flag is a bit field sent in the data stream of a digital television program that indicates whether or not the data stream can be recorded, or if there are any restrictions on recorded content. Possible restrictions include the inability to save an unencrypted digital program to a hard disk or other non-volatile storage, inability to make secondary copies of recorded content (in order to share or archive), forceful reduction of quality when recording (such as reducing high-definition video to the resolution of standard TVs), and inability to skip over commercials.
In the United States, new television receivers using the ATSC standard were supposed to incorporate this functionality by July 1, 2005.[citation needed] The requirement was successfully contested in 2005 and rescinded in 2011.
