Well don't expect that to last too too long. DRM is really attractive to them you know...
However if that dosent happen I am quite interested in this whole idea. I first heard of computerized media centers in 2000 and thought it was a stupid idea having a loud computer with bright lights cluttering up a beautiful setup.
However, Today this sounds like a solution for my home, not just my living room...
Currently the little media that I do have is stored on my PC. I have experimented with VLC to record in perfect detail the government public domain stream called "NASA TV"
I would really like to be able to go to work without missing things such as EVA coverage or landings (I refuse to get a TIVO because I am not interested in their data collection policies) and have a graphical interface for the bit of media I have.
On top of that the ability to act as an alarm system with cheap sensors is nice.
