I work in the entertainment industry and deal with tv/radio companies
pretty regularly.

I've never heard such but have never inquired either.  I would be
greatly surprised if either claim were true because I don't see a need
to incorporate VDR in any capacity, or that it offers anything their
existing hardware doesn't.  That's not to say none of them do however.

Ask the person who's making these claims for the name of the companies
and give them a call.  It would make for nice PR if either were true!
