Pause live TV without a hard drive

Interesting to say the least. But with so many people already owning DVR/PVR’s in their homes, are consumers really asking for something like this that will increase the cost of the unit?

Pause TV would most likely use flash memory, although it could also be hard drive based. A TV tuner and flash memory would be integrated into a TV set, allowing you to hit pause, go get a snack, come back and keep watching. 4GB of flash memory would be enough to record about an hour of video at DVD quality.
