Hmmmm....well the interesting thing will be how the 'free to air' will 
continue to be 'free' when the advertisers wise up to the pervasive access 
to ad skipping.

I would like a larger storage off air than linear tape for all kinds of 
reasons: quicker scanning/searching, skipping to bits to rewatch, all the 
digital service stuff that could be captured as well, DVD on open broadcast 
if you will.
