Interesting article on the digital recorder for TV programs. Chromac was correct that a hard disc approach would get to market before a recordable optical disc solution. I wonder what type of compression they will use??? <<The Replay device uses a large-capacity disc drive storage system similar to those found in personal computers. Cable or satellite TV programming signals coming into the house are sent into the unit, where they're compressed and recorded on the disc drive.>>
