TV companies or Virgin will have the ability to inject advertising into the program that you can't skip when playing back, which is possibly why the TV companies are warming to the idea!!!!

I not sure this correct but I surmising based on current technology and that 4+million customers with 1TB of storage each in the cloud is not going to be cheap, even if the data is de-duplicated? Just think about it, 4+million press record on Coronation Street at the same time or all record 6 programs at once, it would saturated the internet to the cloud!
I believe you are right that the programme isn't actually recorded to the cloud. It is more a bookmark than a recording.
