Well your in luck then, front ends like boxee have a ton of podcasts TOO! Its miraculous, I know... A little fiddling with lirc, and BAM, settop everything. Maybe a little more hardware than roku, but even my granddad can point a remote and watch... Tv OR podcasts..

who cares about podcasts? gimmie tv shows..
One of the things i love about boxee is the sheer amount of TV shows i can watch on hulu, joost, cbs, and others..
Quit trying to compete with each other and give the market what it wants, all shows, on demand. Advertize your brains out like you do on broadcast tv, and let people fall all over themselves trying to make decent interfaces for your content.
Seriously. I don't care what the holdup is, just hurry up and make TV like this.
