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
What happens if your hard drive gives up the ghost?

If your recordings are in the cloud, you can retrieve them when you get a new box.

That doesn't make any sense to me. In both scenarios, I choose a programme, record it and then retrieve it. Is this not all semantics?
