A week after some users of Vista Media Centers were prevented from recording two NBC Universal shows, the network acknowledged Monday that it inadvertently blocked some people from recording the shows. The owners of Windows Vista Media Centers were prevented from recording American Gladiators and Medium last Monday. At the message board The Green Button, Vista users gathered to complain about receiving a prompt that informed them that the broadcaster had "prohibited recording of this program." "We made an inadvertent mistake," an NBC spokeswoman said in an interview with CNET News.com. "We're not aware of any other complaints, and we believe we have addressed the problem."
