Would be? I've been programming my hacked Tivo this way for 5 years.
Unfortunately Tivo was not smart enough to catch on and actually
improve their product by integrating these types of features.
I've watched content on the plane using my iPhone.. but it has always
been the media that I didn't care to really watch on the big screen at
home (B movies, direct to DVD, podcasts, etc.).
A media device in these situations is *not there to provide
entertainment* -- it is there to *relieve the boredom* and that is a
big difference, and the exact reason why people will suffer through
corrupted video. Anyone in the entertainment industry who thinks they
can reap profits with this 'new entertainment' market is sorely
fooling themselves.
