Operating the PVR over the Internet is already obsolete: with IPTV, you can just &quot;go back&quot; and watch the show. There&#x27;s no need for each client to record it, when the provider already has a copy and your device can stream it on demand. Both of our largest ISPs here in Portugal already offer this bundled with the TV service.<p>Same for the EPG: the app offered by my ISP simply downloads it from the web, no need to connect to my TV.
