Go on, admit it, as I said above, it's an archive of material that you will likely never watch.
No, I don't agree. As I have said before on this forum, I record everything that we want to watch, even the news, and we watch it at our convenience. I do not record films for the sake of it or to store because one day I might watch it; I try to watch everything as soon as I can. My problem is that I only have about one and a half hours in the evening Sunday to Thursday and if I stay up late (as I often do) on Fridays and Saturdays, I can get about 5 or 6 hours viewing in on those days.

At this time of the year, my hard drive is ram jam full, but with the summer season coming with all its sport and repeats, I am able to steadily work through the dramas and stuff that I have recorded. This leaves me at between a quarter and a half full by the time all the fresh programming comes back in the autumn and winter.

Personally, I would welcome a 2TB box, but I think it would be best that all the recordings went to the 'cloud' because the thought of losing all that programming when you have to change your box is too much to bear!

As for On Demand, I have lost faith in that to some extent. The 'Catch-Up' only stays on there for 7 days, and the rest of it can disappear without notice in the middle of a series.

Netflix is much better than on demand. It keeps track of where you are with the series you are watching and it remains there for the long term. I know things can get taken off from time to time as happened recently but this does not appear to be too big a problem on Netflix. I'm sure Breaking Bad will still be on there when I eventually flog my way through to the end of the last series on there! However, I do think that we should be told when material is to be taken off with a reasonable amount of notice.
