Re: What about outages?
said by Djinnmage  :So when the network goes down, those people won't be able to view the content they recorded, right? Whereas with a DVR they could view that content anytime I believe. Also, the space they are setting aside is only 80 GB. That is less than the std 120 or 160 GB available on most cable company DVRs and much less than many TIVO based DVRs. And if you record HDTV shows, that space will be eaten up very quickly.

And actually it is Cablevision who offers expandable SA DVRs for more tha a year now - it has an external SATA port, so you can buy extra storage drives and not only from Scientific Atlanta IIRC but from brand. |

You know, I'm really torn on this one. On one hand, it's really nice when you don't have this big ugly device sitting next to your TV, and it's especially nice when you have transparent, remotely managed services available for a fair price. Simple is elegant, in my opinion.
The problem comes in choice. Users should have a choice as to whether or not they get remote, managed service or a local upgradable device. Perhaps in the long run there isn't any difference between the two, so long as the price for the service remains in check, which can only occur if devices remain available....oh the irony! I think the room is spinning...
