Had Viacom's announcement preceded this panel, how different it might have been. As it is, my heart's still with the audience member who quite reasonably pointed out to MTV's David Gale (whom I couldn't help but call "Henry Gale" in my notes, though he seems like a nice-enough guy and meant us no harm) and others that Joe and Jane America already have Internet TV in their living room: TiVo, which is a Linux box.
