Great article, very in-depth. However, pretty sure this is an Apple-only problem, in that they lock down the entire user experience as much as possible. Expendable storage could easily remedy this.
Still, the whole architecture behind it sounds pretty cool. Remains to be seen if other settop boxes follow this. Really interested in what the data cost will be. Right now, not knowing that cost, I would never want an algorithm to determine what to store/what not to store with something as trivial as games/media. Then again I'm not the target user for something like this. Someone's mom shouldn't have to see the "You only have 0.1GB left, please delete some stuff" message; the ideal UX would indeed be for the system to handle it for them.

- zaphoyd 11y agoProbably the cost of delivering data particularly in regards to the resulting data churn that having less local storage might require. Not all internet connections are unlimited.
- mcphage 11y ago> Not all internet connections are unlimited. True, but it's a device designed around streaming high def video (in fact, other commenters in this thread are complaining about it not streaming 4K video). So if your data usage is a major concern, I don't think the device has much to offer.
