Spain's Telefonica launching networked PVR service

US television networks continue to fight with cable providers over the idea of a "networked PVR" that allows users to save and watch shows on their own schedule without a pricey PVR in the house. But Spanish telephone company Telefonica apparently isn't facing that kind of conflict. The company plans to launch a networked PVR service in Spain next month.

The service will let viewers watch any program that's aired during the last week. All the programs will include commercials, but you'll be able to fast forward past them, something you can't do with existing US services like Time Warner's "Start Over" and "Look Back" services.
