Many companies have a simple test for 2009. If a project will produce revenue in 2009, continue. If the revenue flow will not be positive for 2009, it can wait. With the progress with the DVRs, this would take a small market share and make it even smaller. The upfront costs to the consumer are substantial. The support costs would be substantial. The dependencies are substantial. There were too many opportunities for this project to have a cost well above just the development cost. I feel bad for those that looked forward to it, but I never saw a clearly defined market large enough to make it revenue-positive in a reasonable timeframe.
