Sky Q does look pretty good
But i suspect the costs will, initially, be pretty ridiculous especially for the full monty, ie - Sky Q Silver box etc.
They still insist on the DVR being in your house instead of on a pool of storage they control centrally....
How do you envision that working?
Maybe i'm barking up the wrong tree but in my head, i don't see how you could achieve that without introducing (more) P2P connections which would in turn increase load on the network
Similarly, i can't see how you could easily move DVR functionality away from homes as you either (essentially) move the DVR/STB to a hubsite/hubend, which sounds a little pointless to me; or, VM changes to an on-demand type service for DVR functionality but then surely they'd have to store every programme broadcasted which i imagine would be a world of hurt and no doubt stupidly costly
I don't doubt they'll move to IPTV but it's easier and simpler to have the DVR portion within the STB/home.
