<br><br>Hopefully I can get it stable and invisible enough to make mainline code. Yes, I guess that means I'm tackling this. My household -is- the perfect testbed, and since I have a significant background in multi-user authentication and authorization systems I'm pretty sure I can handle multi-user TV's.
