Kind of like VOD except with more options.

I think using this kind of model would make it more difficult to rationalize the Supreme Court's ruling. If they used this model they would be holding and redistributing copyrighted content. If the user at least had to record it they could contend that they aren't acting any differently than a DVR and wouldn't be holding all material.
You are correct that "network DVR" would virtually eliminate limits on how much you could record. A strong selling point for those offering the service.
