Have you ever thought about a simple fact ( besides all the other's like VCD's and piracy, etc. ).
A german DVD might be cheap to you, because of the exchange rate EUR $. a couple of years ago, I used to order DVD's from american amazon.com b/c it was still cheaper than buying a dvd over here in germany. back than the DEM $ exchange rate was pretty good for germans and so I saved a couple of bucks even though shipping was pretty expensive.

The data feed is not really neccessary in europe either, b/c the satelite provider already broadcasts it. There's a feature called EPG Electronic Programm Guide which has all the data for the next two weeks or something like that.
And as someone else pointed out, there is no TiVo in Europe. The much bigger concern with this solution apears to me as being the problem or hassle of designing a machine that is silent enough to be running in my living room all the time.
