Cable Forum - View Single Post - Tivo V6 Cloud recording looks to be coming to VM.

The settlement of the long running dispute between VM and ITV contains an agreement to work together to enable recordings in the cloud.

To my knowledge, this is the first concrete indication that VM intend to follow this route.

Cable companies abroad have tried this in the past, but had to abandon it due to complaints from rights holders.

Maybe this is why the V6 didn't come with more recording space as many assumed and hoped it would?

What do people think about this? I think it seems like a good idea, my only concern will be that during internet outages we won't be able to access our recordings. At present, if the TV or BB services go down, at least we can watch recordings previously made.
