Ok, the next product I want from Logitech streaming media division
formerly known as SlimDevices is...

SqueezeVideo.

Ethernet/Wireless in.
HDMI 1.3 video out.
- component/svideo analog video out?
SPDIF/2ch analog audio out
- maybe 5.1 analog out?
High Bit Rate codec passthrough 
Good DAC if analog audio outs.

Use the latest Sigma Designs SoC that does all latest formats including
H.264

Tight integration with SqueezeCenter. NO BUILT-IN GUI on the box!!! Let
the Squeeze remote do the job of running the GUI and SqueezeCenter
generate it.

Its sole function is to select files and play them. Let someone else do
the recording just like Squeezeboxen let other systems ready the
content.

And, MOST IMPORTANTLY, API to allow PVRs or any other software to
integrate to it for driving playback via IP interface just like on
Squeezebox.

For reasons I can't fathom all the current video players coming out are
all monolithic GUI/Players with no API for integration. 

I appreciate that Sigma wants its driver code help proprietary, but
there is no reason not to build an IP interface to permit commands to
be given to the block of code doing the playback.
