No. Apple has no motivation to support existing video distribution models. Why would they build a DVR? You can get TV and movies from iTS at good quality and reasonable cost sans ads. Apple doesn't just want to own the decoder unit, they want to own the much more profitable distribution service.

But that'd be like creating an iPod/iTunes that doesn't let you rip your own CDs. People want a DVR just like they wanted a really nice player for their existing music collection. Ya gotta soft sell the distribution service.

Apple wants you to buy things from the iTunes store, but nobody would agree to that level of lock-in (i hope!)
