Where is my Media-Macmini for the living room TV?

It's time we accept that Apple will probabaly NOT make a TiVo like device no matter what our wishes are. It goes directly against the relationships Apple is building with it's content providers (Record labels, TV & Movie studios) to build a device that allows consumers to record content without "paying the man." It also doesn't make any financial sense for Apple, as they get a cut of all the content they sell, and based on their sales numbers, I'm sure they don't want to give any of that up.

While there are only a handful of companies that could pull off an "insanely great" easy to use hardware/software Tivo like PVR functionality, asking this of a company whose quarterly results and stock price are tied to keeping the content houses happy is simply unrealistic dreaming.

Hence, no Media-Mini with recording capabilities, and no RadioShark-like FM recording capabilities on the new Ipod Remote.
