Legalities aside for the moment, it'd be really cool to share sheduling
across a network of friends - it'd practically eliminate scheduling
conflicts since you could schedule conflicting shows to different people
and then syncronise the videos over the network to everyone else's disks.
If you make sure that only people who subscribe to a channel can get shows
from that channel then the TV broadcasters should have a problem (of
course they will complain like buggery just to be difficult).
Of course, technically none of this is legal since you're essentially
rebroadcasting copyrighted material (even though there is no real
difference in the end between a mate recording something you subscribe to
and then letting you borrow the video and you recording something you
subscribe to and then watching it). But still a cool idea if the
legalities could be fixed.
