There's a big push to copy protect TV so that you can't record it.

Forgot to add that cable providers have already signed the "plug n play" mandate that allows for recording off of firewire. Firewire will probably not be available on the new HD DVD recorders, but it is possible to record HDTV if you have a firewire enabled cable box and a DVHS recorder.

For starters, the fact that there will be two incompatible formats is a big mistake

Could not agree more! I have heard that the two camps have been in talks to discuss using one format, but it may not (and probably will not) happen. I have a lot of HD content available to me all of the time via local networks and HD cable/satellite channels. I would love HD DVD, but I will not be adopting the format for a long time. I want to let the fight play out for a while first.
