The main reason, I wanted you to announce a version of AppleTV that includes the functionality of a TiVo.<\/p>\n<p>All you offered was the ability to rent movies. I fine with movies but in order to find a place close to my TV and heart, I need the ability to record TV shows.<\/p>\n<p>Now I see the writing on the wall that says all TV shows will be downloads in the future maybe even from the iTunes store, but we&#8217;re not there yet. And, I&#8217;m think it will be a few years before we are. So until then, just place a TV Tuner card inside and create one of those cool user interfaces your so good at.<\/p>\n<p>I can almost hear you saying, &#8220;James you can already download TV shows from the iTunes store. It&#8217;s already <em>almost<\/em> like a TiVo.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Oh Steve, you know it would cost a fortune to download every TV show and if I have to pay for every show, I&#8217;ll never stumble upon something new and exciting. Plus, I&#8217;d never be able to pause a live event to let the dog out.<\/p>\n<p>So, offer me the ability to record via AppleTV and then let me know that I can pay to download previous episodes of a show.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe next time.<\/p>\n<p>-James<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Steve, I watched your keynote address yesterday and found it to be somewhat anti-climatic.
