This sounds like a great idea. I have too many big projects going right now too, or I would look into this as well, soon.

A four-inch-square board would fit into all kinds of TV sets. One thing that could be an issue when mounted close to other TV circuits, though, is interference between the board and the rest of the TV. Metal shielding could fix this, but I know some of the tuners emit heat, so ventilation might be needed too.
