I saw a remark in a story out of CES, suggesting that one use of a mobile
media device would be the ability to program you in-home DVR to capture
things you want to watch when you have the time. The entertainment
industry is ALL about cross promotion to make potential viewers aware of
content they may want to watch. In this, I believe mobile devices are
going to play a VERY IMPORTANT role.
If you mean a mobile media device that can VIEW content captured by your
in-home DVR, then didn't DirecTV try that a couple of years ago with their
DirecTV 2GO? I seem to recall TiVo also testing the waters with the ability
to transfer media into a Video iPod or other portable media player.
If you mean what you wrote, which was the ability to program your in-home
DVR, then that doesn't take a mobile media device, all that takes a
web-enabled mobile device such as a laptop or iPhone. Heck, it could even
be done with a touch-tone telephone if the interfaces were designed
properly!
