Shame V+ dumps the buffer everytime something happens so (unlike my Philips) you can't delay the whole evenings viewing and flick back and forth thru the buffer at will
with V+ you have to record
every programme - start
every programme - then delete
every programme
on my Philips you just press pause - one day - one day

there's nothing inherently
good about programmes just because they are broadcast in a schedule - e.g. the exact same programme on VOD wouldn't be any less good
i think that before you can even discuss VOD becoming a threat to broadcast TV then you should start with the premise that the content would be the same/similar/equal (e.g. it goes without saying that if the latest movies were only ever shown in a post box then we'd all want one)

more servers - again i think we need to assume VOD will be
up-to-it before we can discuss it being a threat to broadcast
the only thing for discussion really is whether you prefer watching scheduled broadcast or whther you prefer to watch stuff whenever you like
from that the answer is really clear cut - and a good analogy is:
Do you prefer radio or CD?
