Yup. The big shocker will come when the tech-savvy consumer decides he
wants to install 4 IPTV PVRs in his home and have each one of them
recording 2+ streams simultaneously. Whoops, sorry, you hit a bandwidth
wall Mr.Consumer, please reschedule this recording.
Somehow I think the hype-masters will make sure that these types of
little facts are missed in the 'big advertising picture'. As with
history in general, we are forever doomed to repeat our mistakes.
