I suggest a recatch feature to watch TV programs after they are aired. I also suggest an updatable database to remove ads from recordings (ex. remove frames between frame 10 to frame 20, the frame being identified by a checksum of the picture, and the image being searched within a 5 second range). This database could be maintained by the community. This would be a truely great feature!

apart from smart tvs , many enjoy today external pre-build media centers/htpc like Boxee or Ruku HD.

Very nice ideia, is a new market to explore… But i think that is better use the XBMC and make updates than create a new. I say this because the XBMC is so very good developed and is open source… so why create a new?

Hi Mark..

Please pardon me, but..have you had a plan how this product would fly?
Is it going to be embedded in the TV, or using using small form factor box like boxee,apple tv or using regular pc attached to the TV?

Who is the potential carrier?

and many other things..I read Ubuntu is moving into many new territory, but i haven’t seen the strategy how it would end up in consumers hands.

This new territory is different from the PC realm. normally we dont change our phone or tablet OS into another one (okay, there is HP touchpad, but thats another story). Well..normally
So, the game is different..

For UI perspective,
i think Unity can be tweaked for use in television and give a good technology ground based to work with.

Unity might actually work quite well on a television. Now will you please take it off of computers, where it doesn’t?

I use Mythbuntu and it works a treat. Perhaps this could be folded into Ubuntu core and be a checkbox during installation?
