A few days ago we published a review of the Linux-based Neuros OSD recorder and player. Now, you can win one of these devices! All you have to do is research on the product to find out its current capabilities, and then comment below with suggestions on how to make it better and with ideas for new applications and hacks. The Neuros Technology guys will pick the best idea in 3 days time and we will provide them with the winner's email address so they can send him/her a free Neuros OSD device (that info won't be used for other purposes). If you wish to comment but not to participate in the competition, please clearly state so on your comments. Update: The winner is FunkyELF for this post. Congrats!

I'd like to take the "pause, buffer and resume" suggestion a bit further: when watching live TV via the device, let it continuously encode and buffer the current program, as far as storage allows. When you have a "Whoops, what happened there?" moment, you can just rewind by some 10 seconds or so. I've gotten used to doing this with recorded media so much, that I often want to rewind on live shows too.
With enough external storage available you could of course save the whole show and be able to rewind as far as you'd like, but I think it could be useful even with a 30 second buffer in internal RAM only.
Depending on the previous use of the replay feature, you can also skip parts of commercial breaks. Especially useful when buffering in RAM only, as you discard pesky commercials to get your full replay buffer again.
