To be honest I wasn't aware of a scart, but you still cannot archive HD, or can you? My technical knowledge, as always, is minus 1000.

What is the point with a 1080p tv watching recordings in lower, composite quality?

Anyway wont be long before its all cloud storage anyway. With so much content on demand personal copies will be a thing of the past. As I look at my CD rack with Hundreds and hundred of CD;s, albums in storage and the odd cassette kicking around

Just need the digital rights issue sorted once and for all with a major update of the copyright and broadcast legislation to bring us neatly to the 21st century....

I don't disagree with you about the cloud storage point except what if you can no longer afford a pay tv/pay music/pay film/broadband supplier in the future and you lose access to your cloud stuff?

My CDs are mine. My DVDs/BRs are mine. What's on my hard discs are mine. Cloud is great, up until the point you run out of dosh. My VHS are mine and I still have records too, both sizes! Mine, not anyone elses.

As you say, digital rights still has a lot of work to be done before everything can go cloud.
