It hasn't stopped there being a business for selling TV shows, selling Movies, and renting movies. I would LOVE a product with DVR HDTV (over airwaves) tuner - the schedule could be fed over the web, and a satellite tv-style interface provided Digital FM receiver Grab that 5am new radio so that you can listen to it on your ipod on the way to work. Backlog the Sesame Street episodes for your kid. Catch the PBS documentary that's on while you're doing something else. They could build in expiration if they wanted to, but I don't think they want to. (Of course, I'll get none of this, like you said.) There are already DVRs all over the market.
