Modular Home Network PVR at CeBIT

Mackus Daddius writes "This ought to give the MPAA a conniption: 'The Lancaster system is modular, consisting of a TV tuner (analogue or digital), a hard disk module and an interface module that ties the system together and connects to your TV. The modules are connected using standard Ethernet connections, giving you flexibility over where the modules are placed and used. Multiple storage and interface modules can be used, increasing the capacity of the system and allowing multiple TVs to be used for watching programmes.' From the ZDNet UK article and here's an article with pics."

Er, current exchange rates are about $1.60 to £1, making it nearer $400 per unit. Secondly, US-UK prices are often nearer parity and (as I've posted elsewhere), it wouldn't surprise me to see this on sale in the US for $250-300.
