Well why not. You can record on it. There does seem to have been in recent years a concentrated push by media providers to not let you have the program content portably locally. It matters not if its radio, tv or whatever. I
find the subscription model very limiting, since you have no media and thus cannot listen or watch it elsewhere.

Or recordable DVD. I have a Panasonic DVD recorder with a T2 Freeview
tuner and HDD. I record onto HDD, edit out the ads (or top and tail if
no ads) and burn to DVD-R or DVD-RW depending on whether I think I will
want to keep to recoding (for ever).
For radio programmes I record them from Freeview with my Humax Fox,
transfer them via USB stick to my laptop, edit and convert to MP3 with
NCH WavePad, then (perhaps) upload to MP3 player or phone.

In HD or only in SD? I thought one needed to use a computer to capture
and save in HD anything one might want to play back on a different device.

Well, you can, but it depends on exactly what you want to do. For
example, I can copy music to USB storage to listen to it in the car, and I can play video or music by my bedside using a cheap, second-hand network media player connected to a TV and/or stereo system as appropriate.
Or recordable DVD. I have a Panasonic DVD recorder with a T2 Freeview
tuner and HDD. I record onto HDD, edit out the ads (or top and tail if no

Or better still, just a hard disk with an ongoing backup system to other
hard disks. My entire media library has been on NAS for years now, why
the need for less reliable means of storage such as tape or CD/DVD? I can play VHSs, CDs, DVDs, MDs, ACs, LPs, etc, all without ever needing to
touch the original media, which are packed away in boxes, and I can record anything new I want using a PC, do any editing required, and then copy it
to the NAS.

I also see the demise of DVD very soon now
Yes. Programme storage and exchange is file based. That's 'trickled
down' <phrase of the week> into the consumer domain.
It's nuts to suggest a return to tape, (or wire !)
