Apple is conducting an online survey to determine how to improve tv.
tv survey
The survey is mostly multiple choice, but there's a free writing section.
If you could change one thing about your TV, what would that be?
What was your answer?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
A: I would like the relationship between the Mac and the tv to have their roles reversed.
tv should become the central iTunes library of the home, the central repository of media that can then be accessed by other Macs and PCs in the home.
The status quo proves to be a problem when TV shows and or movies are purchased on tv and then sync'd back to MacBooks with limited storage.
In this role reversal, iTunes on each Mac would be used to manage and contribute to the tv's central library. iTunes on each Mac would also enable the user to select which content should be transfered onto the MacBook, iPhone or iPod to be available when away from the network.
In a more complex version of this setup, because tv is always on and always connected, all the content would be accessible via a WiFi/3G enabled iPhone, iPod or Mac facilitated by MobileMe.

Though the survey is now closed, anybody wanting to voice their opinion and suggestions on the tv can do so here:
