Next gen Apple TV could have the ability to control your existing cable boxes

9to5Mac reports that Apple is toying with the idea of integrating a "TV tuner component" that "has the ability to control your existing cable boxes and TV stations." This functionality, which sounds similar to both the Xbox One and Google TV's approach, would allow users to watch live TV through their Apple TV boxes with "an Apple-designed user interface atop their content." One other possibility mentioned is that the company could integrate an Airport Express into its Apple TV, allowing it to perform as a router as well as a set-top box. Apple took a similar approach with its Time Capsule, which acts as both a router and a backup hard drive.

It was reported last year that Apple was in negotiations with cable companies and TV networks to allow customers to skip commercials on recorded shows and Apple would compensate programmers for the lost revenue. The company has also been looking to "erase the distinction" between live and on-demand video content.

That's old technology but I suppose if Apple announces it a million lemmings will hop on board.
Ceton and Silicon Dust both offer devices that integrate with Windows Media Center. They offer six tuners with DVR capability and operate with a cable card so premium content can be streamed to any TV in the house. Windows Media Center also provides the TV listings free as part of the package. They sell for a fraction of what Apple is proposing to charge.

But when will Skynet become self-aware?
