As it's the age of internet television why not stream programmes from the internet. I have apple tv2 (jailbroken) and stream youtube items through software called plex. It serves all my needs and more.
Its called respecting copyright crewmeal.
Not suggesting you don't since I don't know what you watch. But I do know that much of the content on Sky, the BBC and other transmission mediums are covered by copyright laws and content licenses.
