Just read this on Think Secret... a claim that the new Apple DVR coming down the road will serve videos via a caching mechanism, so that the file never actually exists on your hard drive and thus can't be easily copied. If this is true, I'm much less intereted in the box. This would explain away the conflict I described below, between paying the networks for content like Lost versus just recording it onto your DVR... the deal is, you're not recording it. That also solves the tuner issue: no tuner needed.
The only problem with this is it completely removes the ability to hop through a program like you can with a real DVR. There's no way that you'll be able to skip like that with a caching setup.
Anyhow, we shall see in a few weeks. Maybe. :)
