Intel-based Mac Mini to be Tivo-killer?

Great rumour from Think Secret today suggests that the Macworld Expo in January will see the announcement of a new Intel-based Mac mini. It will feature FrontRow 2.0 and a Tivo-like PVR (possibly an optional add-on). It will feature a built-in iPod dock, and may use a proper 3.5 inch hard drive instead of the current notebook-style 2.5 inch drive (although they'd surely have to increase the size of the mini to do this). This rumour suggests Apple are so serious about the living room, that they'd bring their Intel roadmap forward by six months to get this product out. I can also imagine it would allow users of the iPod (with video support) to transfer TV shows to the player easily.

I really hope this rumour is true, as the Mac mini would be a great addition to the living room. I'd definitely be tempted.
