Indeed, a DVR for many is a mandatory item. However, there still is a bit of a need if one wants to record 2 things and watch a third live (tape 2 dramas and watch a ball game on a cable channel). Not commonly done, but there ARE times when this is necessary (and not just for total TV junkies either, say you have one network drama you want to see {which won't repeat for some random time in a year or so}, plus there's a classic movie on TCM {again, which may not re-run for more than a year} AND a playoff game all at the same time).
Of course, at this point, it is a downside when considering FIOS over a cable account. BUT tur2way TVs aren't really here; as in it's available on a number of model's, not just the most expensive ones. By that time (my guess is at least a year away) FIOS could very well have it's solution.
