There’s no reason for Virgin to sabotage their products to below subscriber expectations to suit your agenda, OB. By your own flawed rationale Sky and Virgin should simply disable hard drive recording altogether, people should burn their old DVD recorders and VCRs in a bonfire of old technology.
It’s not flawed just because you can’t get your head around it, jfman.

Neither Virgin Stream nor Sky Stream have hard drives, and once we go IPTV only, as we will, that technology will no longer be in play. Do keep up.

Recording in the cloud is simply bookmarking, which is different from recording as we do now. It’s basically highlighting programmes you want to see from an ‘on demand’ library.

For most people, there’s not much perceptible difference, but it is different in that those programmes you’ve bookmarked could be pulled at any time.
