Both formats have too little storage capacity

They're better, but even now tv resolution is once again outpacing media. Neither format has the capacity to make use of 2160p or whatever comes along after that.

Both formats should be regarded as an intermediatory stage, while we wait for either gigabit internet downloading to living room media players to become the norm, or disk capacity of at least 1 terabyte.

When we have the equivalent of a netapp replacing our old-fashioned dvrs then we'll have finally got somewhere.
