If you can record your own shows onto a server, I don't see what the problem is either and it does seem like semantics. But I think, but cannot recall for certain, that all the arguments were over the fact the the ISP/Cableco does the recording, hence providing a service, and that's where the copyright issue comes from.

As far as I know, Liberty are not (yet) proposing a cloud based pvr system. But if the epg is in the cloud, the "channels" are in the cloud, then one would assume that recordings would be in the cloud too.

Your point about the hard drive dying is a good one and with faster than ever net speeds now, it does make a cloud based system more attractive. I'm just not sure the cloud based system for recordings that we want, is the one that will actually get provided.
