Re: If Verizon can provide a shareable DVR, why not Comcast ?

Comcast (and all cable companies for that matter) are pushing for a Network DVR, where they put in zetabytes of storage at each node, and when you record, it acually records offsite. This would make the DVR feature available to all STB, not just the HD-DVRs they sell.

It is a realtivly cheap endeavour as well, as just adding memory is not too costly. The problem? Thank the gold ol' MPAA and a few Network TV distributors.. They dont want their "content to be able to be pirated at an offsite location".

If you search some articles on here, I believe Cox or Clearwire are battling with them in court right now.
