This sharing of digital video content is already happening. I'm currently using ShowShifter, which is a PC based DVR/PVR software (www.showshifter.com). ShowShifter is running on my Pentium 4 PC, permanently situated in my living room, linked to my second cable box and my PC. Showshifter is programmed to automatically tape shows and compress them to Divx. I have another PC, behind my home firewall linked to my Cablemodem, that is running Kazaa/Morpheus, with a network share of the showshifter PC. All video that I tape, is available for p2p share via Kazaa. And vice versa.
