And the processor in the current Tivo is still five years old. It's acceptable, but really should be updated so that it is more speedy.

So if VM do move to the cloud for recording, I would expect an updated box which will be less expensive for VM to buy.

Is it too soon for VM to move to the cloud? Would a change such as that be better in a couple of years time? I'm honestly not sure. But if cloud storage is only a couple of years away, what should VM do about the current box? Struggle on with it and patch it up a bit, or provide a new faster box?

If only we all knew what Spiderplant knows
When things are moved to the cloud isn't the processing done in the cloud ?
