I guess quite a lot of legacy customers will still have multiple boxes with their own hard drives given there is an upgrade path, and they will function independently with recording to their own storage (accessible from others). So no loss of storage on that front.

Obviously new customers will lose out, but they won't know any better for the most part and have probably come from Sky Q which has a very similar arrangement.

The lack of 'undelete' still seems a rather glaring omission, but it might as well be missing on Sky Q because it's a sod to find in the menu!
