I've been working on a similar project, but using a headless box. It has a TV tuner in it, and runs Linux 2.2.18, with the latest V4l drivers.
The trick is, that an extremely clever person put this little program together vcr. This program lets you record any video4linux stream straight into any format supported by avifile to disk.
Consequence? I now have a skeleton of a web interface that is based on tvguide, that I can select shows from, and have this program automatically record them, straight into low motion DivX, which is really good quality (arguably better than Tivo's MPEG-2) If there is interest, I'll complete and release the project.
I can then watch the recorded show on any box on my network, or even the box connected to my TV. It'd probably be cooler to have a TV out card, and watch it right on my TV, and even have a TV interface, but let's walk before we run:)
While it isn't perfect, it's a good thing because it allows insurance companies and employers to better determine the cost of insuring an individual. It reduces the potential risk and, thusly, reduces the costs to everyone in the risk pool.
As people clamor for less expensive healthcare, using genetic testing to minimize costs may be a way to make healthcare less expensive.

Just sell it to them. Presumably, your company will still need you to work for them even if they don't like you selling your own product.
