Living in the US (California, specifically), it will be interesting to see if this comes to our neck of the woods, as there are two interesting parts to the equation: 1. All broadcast TV is slated to go digital in Feb. 2009, so standard channels will be "HD" (If a show is broadcast in HD; if not, it'll be really nice SD), with that program guide function being automatic. 2. I see tivo-esque companies, cable, and sat providers not being happy, as the ability to pause, rewind, and store programs are perks that such companies want customers to PAY for on a monthly basis. Let us know how this works!
