Eventually, yes, I could easily see myself going that far, as donating code back to a project I've used would be great. I'd like to start off a -tad- less ambitious, as I've learned that biting off more than you can chew is a good way to sour yourself on a project and then have a large amount of incomplete code lying around that you never get back to.

<br>Everyone seems to have a differing opinion as to what should be "secured" how...and I'm not sure I disagree with Chris' comment on the last one about the possibility of this being beyond the scope of a PVR type appliance...hmm...gonna sleep on it ;-)
