Gene Munster of 1313 Mockingbird Lane and Piper Jaffray is positing that because the Apple TV isn’t doing so well that Apple will soon sell a TV with AppleTV features built-in, an idea so ludicrous that it caused me to spit out my Metamucil.

Let’s look at his reasoning: the AppleTV is “losing ground” to other subscription services - I’d argue it’s lost ground to everything and is now, in its current incarnation, an also-ran - and so Apple will create a DVR combo/download system with Hulu, Joost, FARK, Digg, JDate, and other web services built-in. So that’s not so far fetched, right? But get this: Munster thinks a full-sized TV is also in the cards.
