TiVo functionality? The bottleneck to the Mac Mini becoming an HD "TiVo killer" is the G4 processor. If they bumped it up to a G5, then it would have decent power to encode/decode H.264. But you'd still need a settop box and compatibility with DRM'ed HDMI on the satellite side, or use the Firewire output on a Motorola set top box if you went through Comcast.
The stackable hard drive footprint makes me chuckle. Brings back memories of the Atari MegaST line.
