Didn't Cablevision in NY just announce some type of remote DVR capability? You press a record button on the remote, and the actual recording takes place in Cablevision's office, on their equipment. If this really isn't a "consumer device', maybe DirecTV is planning a similar offering. I could imagine an entire rack of these devices available for an entire serving area. I record my stuff to their servers, and can still watch when I want. The screen is probably used for diagnotic testing on the box and feeds. Much cheaper to share storage across a group of users than dedicating a certain amount per box. As storage grows, so does my capacity without having to upgrade my DVR.
