If we cant record HD from satellite or Cable boxes whats the point of a Blu-ray recorder??

For those people who have HD video cameras might see the use here, but even then most likely people would use there computers for editing and transfering to disc, not to mention blu-ray recorder drives for computers are much cheaper.

This is nice information. However, Blu-Ray recorders have been available in Japan for quite some time. In the US we are stuck with DVR, HTPC (component capture, ATSC or QAM) or DVHS for HD recording.
