Capture HDMI to Channels DVR

Summary

DVRs have been around for a long time, but unfortunately streaming services have locked us in to their cloud DVR solutions. As a long time MythTV then Channels DVR user I'm excited at the idea of being able to record content from various streaming services that I subscribe to. Primarily YouTube TV.

Coming soon: The 8-terabyte desktop

I'd more consider this a media backend server than a desktop.. strange headline. I think folks are finally getting it right with the disk space. The initial estimated street price will be $8,000.

Hitachi’s DV-DH1000W, a terabyte hi-def DVR with DVD recorder

While this device has not hit the streets in the U.S. I still can't get over the fact that I've been sitting on an over 1TB HD PVR/DVR DVD Recorder for well over a year now (thank you MythTV) that outstrips every feature I've seen yet in a consumer set top box, and allows me to do whatever I want with the content.
