I too can't see cloud storage replacing local disk for PVR type devices. Unless content becomes time limited somehow so you can only store/watch for a defined period after recording. You would need to store every program broadcast and have it available quickly. Mind you you could use it to push in current advertising rather than that on the recording and skipping is harder over the cloud than locally.
