Here is where the great idea comes in. Circuit city takes some of that linux knowlege and creates a HTPC based on linux. They take any of the free pvr packages, brand them into their own image, bundle some infrared controllers and you have a top notch home theater in a box. Gateway had a great set top media center but they stopped it, I dont think it was being sold in the right channel. I think Circuit City could pull it off though. They could actually have one of these powering their home theater instead of best buy putting media center computers next to... the other computers.
