Except that bookmarks don't exist for quite a few programmes and "on demand" can be limited to, say, 30 days. Cloud recordings could be used to record anything and to keep recordings for more than 30 days. But, until the UK allows cloud recording, any differences and similarities to bookmarks are irrelevant. I expect we will continue to see hard drives provided in the absence of cloud recording, even if Virgin etc can't be bothered to change the firmware to allow their boxes to store the list of recordings on the actual device.
