I suppose that's a valid point, but then the box is more than capable of downscaling, they could add an update that only stores the HD broadcast in SD quality. Could even be a good way to clear some space without having to delete anything.
You're right though, Virgin already has a pretty good ondemand platform (I always thought they were missing a huge trick before Sky got into the ondemand game) and scaling that up to cloud storage would be a great thing to do, though I'm sure rightsholders would have a fit.
