There are good and aspects of cloud versus hard disc PVR/streaming service boxes IMHO. It all depends on the rules that are set around the cloud content (e.g. length of time available).
To be fair what's happening in the UK pretty much follows development in the United States.

As an example Comcast a large US cable co is already providing Cloud DVR functionality as opposed to its satellite competitors Dish and DirecTV who use similar multiroom installations to that of Sky Q.
