Dear Steve Jobs,

Congratulations on the tremendous success of your company. I am a big fan of the video weblog “Rocketboom”, and saw your video presentation linked from their site.

I am really excited about the new iTV. It is the perfect complement to your revolutionary media devices and services. I thought of an idea that will dramatically increase the value of your new product.

You should have a cable adapter that plugs into the USB2.0 slot on the back of the iTV device. Once hooked into cable, the iTV should broadcast the cable signal to the networked computer(s). Through iTunes, viewers should be able to record, pause, and rewind TV shows on their computer. The amount of possibilities are endless. For example, someone could choose shows to record and watch them at a later time (much like some products that are already available). This feature would make iTV a vital component of all home networks and media centres, and would dramatically increase the sales of your products – further extending the reach of your iTunes software.

You do not need to pay me for this idea; all I ask for is recognition. However, I certainly would not say no to a top-of-the-line Apple notebook and my very own iTV when it becomes available

Keep up the good work, and as always, I am very excited about your future products and services.

Jeremy David
