Good spot. With no disrespect to Elstein, I would like to see something more formal than a quote from a speech he has given.
If it is the case, at what stage will VM and Sky start proclaiming their PVRs to be 2020 SD switch-off proof?
The future of Tivo must be cloud-based, it's more rights issues than technical issues that will stop this happening tomorrow.
I think VM and Sky would have expected HD fees to be phased out to be replaced by 3D fees but 3D has not taken off so I assume it will just be lumped in at some stage in the future.
