Isn't PVR = New Generation VCR?
Also, what when we (need to) watch advertisements on pay-channels?
As the Dvorak himself says "To accomplish this with current VCR technology you'd have to record a whole show in advance, then manually bypass the commercials", it seems to me that these PVR's do nothing more than current VCR's but only in a better way - not even as easy or convenient.
Further, what about watching advertisements on pay-channels? I thought we pay to the channels for the content, but it never reduces advertising. Anyone thought of that? Somebody may point out example of newspaper here, but there we pay very little in comparision of the cost. but in case of pay-channel, how does it cost them more if a few more people watch it? it doesn't.

I changed my country to USA and after a few weeks the storage capacity went up to 250 MB. So it does work that way.
