Promise is the world's first fully automatic video recorder– it records everything. Every programme, on every channel, over seven days.
No more remembering to record your favourite programmes. No more slavery to the schedule. Just record everything that's on, every week, and watch it on any TV in your home.
All you have to do is choose the programme you want to watch from the promise guide and press play.
It's as easy as that.

Seems to only work at standard definition but they are supposedly working on HD. It will support Freeview and Freesat.
3 days recording = £600, 7 days = £1000.
Sorry but at those prices not a chance, especially when it only does freeview, also local storage is surely had its day? I pretty much stream most of the TV I watch now, if they did this online ad supported then I'd use it maybe even pay money for it.
I said interesting, not that anyone here is going to be rushing out and paying that sort of price for a glorified tv recorder ;).
It will be the norm when Storage takes the next leap forward but that will always be a challenge since that as soon as you have more bandwidth they fill it.
3D I think and hope will die and it will be 2k resolution TV's the norm next with 4k after that.
I don't know if it'll be the norm, I think streaming will be way more popular. Me and the GF don't have a TV and watch all our content either via iPlayer or Sky Player. Sure SkyPlayer is only really Sky channels and not the others, but it'd be easy to add the other channels content. If you could pay as you watch and buy credit and then it's 50p an hour or something I'd buy into that.

why do you hope 3d will die? I think theres a purpose for it, but it should be left to specialist things like the natural world & sports.
As for this promise, its just a gimmick init? with netflix, lovefilm, Channel 4, sky anytime, virgin vivo, etc. more & more programs are becoming available on demand.

3DTV is still in its infancy, it has a long way to go before being a mature product. When it does get that far it will be an interesting, but entirely unnecessary, option. I see it being used in computer games far more than during normal TV.
