I agree it's the same as when you record at your house if the subscriber is selecting up front what he/she wants to record. However, I do think there is a distinction if the cable provider stores all content proactively and then lets the customers subscribe to the content to watch it again afterwards. One is redistribution of copyrighted material and the other is not. That's my only contention.
