A system that allows you to phone home to your video recorder to tape television programs you may have forgotten to time or program in. Phone menu allows you to pick what channel you want and start recording... that is how simple it needs to be... anymore complicated than that and you lose most of the public who cannot even program their videos in the first place. Especially a good idea for new generation dvd recorders.

Have you ever watched a politician or other public figure on tv, and wonder how that person looks to people in other countries? Does that cool football coach look silly to people in other cultures? Likeable? Grouchy? Right now, there's no way to tell. But if people watching in other countries could submit feedback online, we could tell what they're thinking. It would be fun, and might even avert a few international misunderstandings.

No more having to guess when your show will come back on and you can run to the bathroom and do any activity if we could see how long the commercials were before the show comes back on. We could hear an audible ten second countdown to show restart to return on time. This would be preferable to the commercial cut out of today since we might actually want to see certain commercials.

I would like to see a real three dimensional TV. Like an aquarium, filled with some kind of liquid, that can be controlled to display the "image". When watching, it will be like watching a mini theatre!

Why not have a TV receiver that can simultaneously translate up to 20 channels and send them wirelessly AKA broadcast them to the other TV's in the home. Room A wants to watch channel 2. Room A tunes their TV to channel 2 and the TV transmits to the receiver telling it to broadcast channel 2, therefore allowing the TVs in any room to receive channel 2. Up to 20 different TVs could tell the receiver to transmit a different channel. This would allow the simultaneous recording/watching of up...

What about making Flat Screen TV's flatter by putting all of the unessacary components inside another box, that could be hidden somewhere, and then the TV would just be speakers, the lcd screen and the buttons, and it will have wires running to the other box that does all that other stuff or it could be wireless, either way would be good.

Develop technology, intrinisic in the home phone, that before the phone even rings once, answers; "If this a telemarket, donation request, political call, or if your number has caller ID block, please hang up and do not try again, otherwise stay on the line and your call proceed as normal." The technology to create such a phone would have to be created.

We all know that DVDs work just like a record player except it reads holes or bumps and raised areas with a laser instead of a record needle. If we had a disc and laser reading variations of vibrations of electricity, we then would have unlimited or extremely large amounts of space to put information of movies or computer data on. If the disc was reading electrical signals along with bumps AND dips in grooves we would have two, or more, forms of readable info making it hold more info. It...

How about a two sided TV screen, shaped like a letter V? It would be two TV's joined to move into separate directions. It would allow two people in same room to watch different TV programs. There would be separate remotes and possibly speakers inside remote like in hospitals ... or even simple headphone speakers. Couples would not have to have TV's in separate rooms any more.

It is normally seen in many households (at least in my household) that older people (sometimes we youngsters) tend to go asleep while watching television. So we can have a television set which gives a message, every 1 hour or 40 minutes, indicating that the television set is ON. Mind you! This message has to be a voice message, which can be easily installed in a television set. Example of a voice message: "Your television set is on!" if possible indicating the time.
