Of course, when 2020 arrives it will be cheap enough to have a STB that includes a scaler to downscale HD content to allow it to work with any set.

If only you could flag the stuff you wanted to watch on the system, so that you could get a 'My Shows' section in the On Demand selection. That would be a good advance for me. But slotting all the recordings that you've made into the On Demand section would be a nightmare to sort out!

That would be a good idea, the TiVo has this in a way with it's historical EPG option.
I said earlier that many advantages of TiVo would be negated by a cloud based system, but if this option were to be discontinued, this would be a loss.
