Estimated time drivers save by using real-time GPS traffic updates
Drivers that use GPS systems with real-time traffic info spend 18% less time behind the wheel than those who do not.

Useful would be recording from DVR to Blu-Ray blanks when the DVR hard drive became full. This just (at best) saves a HDMI port.
"If you're thinking these will record from BD to HDD or the other way around, think again. The movie studios will have none of that."
And yet this was exactly (well, one of the things) what managed copy was supposed to make possible. Stick your entire library of HD discs on your player's hard drive and store the actual discs somewhere else.
I really like those 1TB things :)
What is the point of combining two devices like this if they can't talk to each other? Isn't this the equivalent of having a TV with a built-in Blu-ray player, but the TV can't actually receive a signal from its own player? It would be much better to get separate components.
This would replace DVD/VCR combos, but is not available in the U.S.
it's a step in the right direction. I hate having 5 different components. A all in one optical/dvr/surround sound would be sweet!
