Philip wants to put a TV Tuner in you Cellphone

I don't know what to think here. On the one hand, having a TV tuner in your cellphone would seem cool at first glance. But then I start thinking of the kind of shows that I can pull off the air (nightmares of everything on the WB and UPN flash in my head) and I'm instantly turned off. Will I be able to record shows from said tuner on my cellphone? Probably not until someone figures out a good/fast/cheap way to pop a Divx encoder onto a gargantuan NAND Flash that Apple has been gobbling up lately. Will I be able to skip commercials? Will I be able to transfer show that I record (assuming that I can record them) to my PC or Tivo or video iPod? I'm going to guess (correct me if I'm wrong) no. In that case, this looks like a case of minaturizing the old Casio pocket black and white TV and shoving it into your cellphone's plastic shell along side the other gadgetry in there.
