Roberto, I'm sure every effort would be made to make a global distribution to work on any TV. That's a goal of open-source evangelists! =) It seems there will likely be some limits for reading on some DVD machines in one way or another given the quirky DVD revision standards and apparent built-in sub-license burn rights associated with current computer DVD-Rs. Any unfortunate sole could probably get an alternate distribution via portable HD. Perhaps this would be a legitimate use of the linux DVD copy/hack/writer program to circumvent individual DVD-machine-read barriers. hmm..
