And this is only relevant to

"Until now those with ‘Internet Mode’ enabled on the related set-top-box could still record TV content directly to local storage on their Pro Box from the streamed BBC channels, much like you can when watching via a regular aerial connection. "

Not those using

" ‘Broadcast Mode‘ "

You appear to have accidentally overlooked these relevant points which were either side of what you quoted…
Thank you for clarifying, but yes, I am aware. Yes, the ‘recording’ goes onto the hard drive, but it is basically no better than on demand. It is not permanently recorded if you fail to delete it - it disappears when it’s taken off the on demand system.

It’s all smoke and mirrors.

It would be much better if you would stick to reporting the facts rather than re-framing everything to fit in with your vision of the future.
It’s a technical point but it’s no different from on demand in practice. It appears on the hard drive. The similarity stops there.
