Apple planning connected television, Apple TV with DVR - report

Although Apple has publicly denied interest in such markets,
investment bank Piper Jaffray said Thursday it expects the company to
introduce a networked television in the next two years and update its
Apple TV set-top-box with DVR capabilities by year's end.
"We expect Apple to design a connected television over the next two
years (launching in 2011) with DVR functionality built in," analyst
Gene Munster wrote in a lengthy research report on Thursday. "These
recorded shows could then sync with Macs, iPhones and iPods over a
wireless network."
Predictions
Such a device would further cement the Cupertino-based company's
footprint in the digital living room, Munster agues, offering
interactive TV, music, movie, and gaming features in an all-in-one
package. By leveraging its ubiquitous iTunes ecosystem, Apple would
also be capable of developing a television set that stands out from
the competition, he says, as it wouldn't require a set-top-box or
device attachments.
