That applied to ReplayTV, although I have been sensitive to posting about Rio in certain other forums. I have never felt that this has applied to car player forums.
The reason for the ReplayTV "posting ban" was that third party developers were coming up with applications which could be seen to add weight to the TV networks lawsuit against SB. It is important that SB are not seen to support these activities by participating in discussions or providing information.
I wasn't aware that this policy had been reversed, if indeed it has.
