I'm not sure why consumers would be against Cablevision storing their programs remotely?
They already know what you're watching. They can provide more efficient backed-up storage and quieter, cooler cable boxes. The solution should save the consumer headaches and energy costs.
The only negatives I can see are that you may not be able to increase your capacity with an external HD, and you can't illegally hack into your DVR to copy the programs. Also a slower response time but that isn't necessary if they implement it properly.
