I guess the other problem/disadvatage is the way this other system will store the programs. i.e. with the Sky+ Box, the programme is recorded in the original transmitted format (compressed digital) with multi-channel audio etc... as soon as you use another device, you may loose quality (due to...

Skipping adverts would be great, but as mentioned the problem with this is the Advertisers would start to no longer use this for advertising, if that were the case. I know this is available on some systems in the US, so maybe we'll see it here in the future (fingers crossed). Ref: USB Ports...
