What I think would be interesting is a "portable" backend.  (ie for 
laptops).  This backend would do no recording on its own, but simply 
copy files from a master backend as well as the needed database info so 
that mythtv can be used on the road when there is no contact with the 
master backend.  Currently I just copy the files I want and watch them 
via VLC when I go on a plane, but I really miss the ability to 
commercial skip when I do it this way.  It would also be nice to browse 
them on the frontend just like I currently do at home.
