A few years ago Scientific-Atlanta offered a PVR with a built-in DVD writer that would write encrypted DVDs only it could play back. AFAIK they didn't sell any.

If your TiVo failed or the hard drive in it failed then you loose your content, i'm afraid cloud shouldn't be the way to go for any ones personal back up, servers go down and networks become congested, The P in pvr stands for Personal, cloud relys on lots of other permitations. As for Scientific Atlanta, yeah they are a big name brand, with lots of High street clout, did they try to push these via currys or comet? I bet if Sony or Panasonic had done the same thing it might have been a different story, oh wait they did with VR Recording, a recording that couldn't be re-copied.
