HDTV with built in Hard drive?

Question

Why aren't there more TV's with a built in hard drive? I don't think I would expect a lot, maybe be able to record a couple of 2 hour shows. Mostly I just want it to be able to pause and rewind (which wouldn't take up much space). searching the internet I see LG made some plasmas in 2006 for the UK with hard drives. with over the air digital, I would think somebody would do this more often. Do you know of any HDTV's (1080P) that can do this?

Answer 2

because there are already stuff that exists for recording shows (such as tivo)

Answer 3

When you start to do this - it raises issue with copy protection which is a big deal with Hollywood right now.  And it adds a mechanical/moving part to a device that is solid-state right now.  

Otherwise it would be a trivial challenge to simply spool the HDMI data onto a hard drive.
