It's completely different though. Well, not completely, but like VCR to the ultimate extreme. The fact that you can pause live broadcasts, start watching programes from the beginning when they are half way through, record different things on different channels. It is a whole lot more convenient than scrambling for a video. And better quality too.
It's not for permenant storage, but for making sure that you can watch anything you want out of the hundreds of channels at any time. And this ends my advertising schpeil for Sky+.
As to the whole "TV is less stimulating than a book/interactive entertainment", that's true, but that's not necessarily a negative against it. Lots of people get in from work and just collapse in front of the TV. They want to be entertained without putting any effort it. I can't see that changing significantly over time. It's not like Video games have destroyed TV.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
