>prepare for a a lot of hand holding to get it set up

This is true in the small business space, in general. You will find, that if you use a subscription model, that a significant percentage of your users will not re-up if the flow is complex in any way.

Some thoughts:

- setup needs to be as simple as HDMI/composite/component in from cable box, HDMI out to TV, power. LTE is preferred over wifi (wifi changes, setup difficulty)

- if you don't support hdcp, you're going to have unhappy customers (pretty sure the superbowl wont work in HD!). If you do support hdcp, you're going to have unhappy content providers. If you strip hdcp, you're going to get sued.
