It seems to be phrased both ways, like "I want something that does these things, and I think there is a market for it". We were mostly addressing the first part. I agree that a consumer-oriented gadget to do the same thing easily could be neat. I don't know that there'd be that big of a market though. I suspect most of the general population wouldn't see the need, and the very geeky would tend towards existing free methods of doing the same thing (MythTV and the like).
