Cable companies want you to use their DVRs.

In a perfect world (at least regarding TV recording), they would make combo machines with a digital tuner, hard disk drive (for DVR function), and a Blu-ray recorder, so we could make discs of HD shows, just as we used to record video tapes in the old days.

Really, though, remembering how many people had 12:00 flashing on their VCRs, maybe the market for such over-the-air Blu-ray recorders would be pretty small. They do sell such machines in Japan, I think, but of course there are plenty of high-tech gadgets there that we do not get in the USA.
