This is a very cool idea, and there are plenty of things that are fixable, but it doesn't help that corporate interest favors products that are not repairable.
There is much more money to be made when you can convince or force consumers to buy new.
A throwaway society consists of those who buy the throwaways, and those who sell the throwaways.

The people who spend enough time in front of the tv to get obese probably pay for their tv. If you're that dedicated to tv that you don't get out/get around and do other things, you're probably gonna want to watch more than 10 channels.
