Recording VOD

Why would you want to record if there always on ?

Buddy of mine has a HDD which is loaded with movies and TV series stuff. He takes that and his LapTop and his speaker system off to work with him. He works in the bush and stays in a camp for 1 full month.
No internet out there or sketchy at best (lotta sites they won't get a phone signal at all).

There's a reason :)
Prolly many such reasons :)
 
For 3 months every year I am in an area that only uses DSL for internet. At it's best, it's terrible. VOD will never work. So I want to save 5 or 6 movies for future use.
