Ok,
This is something I would like to see, lighting control using x10 modules , 
security cams so if im
in the theater room I can switch to the cams and check the grounds,etc.
MYTH TV is so cool! Thanks to all you folks who have worked on it.

>    job, making it active during work hours and late nights):
>    Making the system automatically go to sleep and wake up by its
>    recording schedule. This could "easily"(?) be done with ACPI RTC
>    Wakeup (http://sourceforge.net/projects/nvram-wakeup), if your
>    BIOS supports ACPI.
>
>  * Instant recording
>    A way to immediately activate recording on a selected channel.
>    This can come in handy when there is no time to do proper scheduling
>    (So you could just fire away a keystroke without even switching on
>    the TV, perhaps Ctrl-r 1 for recording channel 1, Ctrl-r 2 for 2
>    etc.)
>
>  * Different user profiles. It would be nice to have personal settings,
>    with a personal recording schedule and collection of recordings.
>    As it is now, my girlfriend's programs and mine get mixed in the
>    same list, making it difficult to overview.
>
>  * High level recording directives: "from now on, record anything
>    with Chevy Chase in it" etc, what would catch anything from
>    interviews on talkshows (should turn up in XMLTV), or movies
>    (IMDB as source).
>
>  * A small system monitor on the main screen (cpu load, a red
>    recording icon if something is being recorded, countdown to next
>    recording etc).
>
>  * I like to play C64 and Amiga emulatorgames once in a while. This
>    would be a good addition to mythgame. Perhaps using xmess, as
>    xmame is already there.
>
>  * A basic calendar module. Could show random fun trivia on today's
>    date based on IMDB, and you could import your favourite iCal file
>    and have reminders on friends' birthdays etc. This could perhaps
>    be fed through the RSS news browser.
