Re: SD and STB's to go by 2020 claims David Elstein.

I have no idea whether the copyright issues of having a cloud based system have been resolved or not. But am I the only one who doesn't entirely like the idea of "personal" video recordings being kept on a shared storage system by some company?

What happens when the internet link goes down? How can you access your favourite recordings if the recordings are on some remote server? I am not entirely sure that this "progress" is progress at all.

But, despite my tongue and cheek remarks earlier, it does look like to me that Liberty are preparing to roll out this system here.

Because the company is supplying you with the recordings, giving you a service, rather than you supplying yourself, that's where the copyright comes into it, I gather.
