Not to sound like a smart ass, but did you know that the TiVo PVR is based on Linux running on a Motorola PowerPC architecture? Could you tell I own one and love it? There is a lot of interest in hacking/upgrading these things and TiVo has even posted the source files on the web, but not for everything, just what they have to under the GPL licence.
Also as PowerDVD linux version seems to now have been leaked it is looking like a DVD linux solution could well be possible...
I am sure stability would be exceptional and the better (leaner) distro's may well yield smoother panning shots and a more fluid image (anyone going to comment, I don't have a linux build anymore) but I am sure the user friendliness would open up a whole new can of worms..
No one made me an offer for my .sig so I'm going to keep it.
