Well - in round terms, HDD have got 1000 times cheaper in the last 10
years...
... even assuming that PVRs move to non-lossy storage in 3-4 years
time,
then we'll see your second approach become cost-effective. After all, the
trend
in the UK has been to move to more channels, rather than a smaller number
of
HDTV ones (I'm glad to see that the BBC has moved away from that a bit in
the
terrestrial Digital franchise, but it's still not HDTV.) As such the
storage /
hour video is contant, and the cost of storage media is falling.
I agree that DVD-recordable media will fall further in price as well,
but...

They'll co-exist... After all, you have to archive
StarTrek/Buffy off the TIVO onto something.... :)
LOL

Hmm,
unless we can find some cheap 1TB drives somewhere and hang a Raid5 off the
back of the TIVO...
LOL - No :-)
Seriously, though - do we think DVD-(some recordable format) is going
to beat PVR technology?
Personally, I think that PVR will win in the consumer space.)
(Jason - please comment here, particularly if you disagree - I'd far
rather have someone eloquent and opinionated arguing against me than 100
yes-men !)
