I think almost every film has been recorded in HD for many years, if not 
decades.  Judging by the number of HD discs available.

Why not?  You can install Linux on there very easily (Sony even put a menu 
option for "Install other OS" in the menu).  I think to take advantage of

you can certainly make your own code for it.  Just need someone to port POV
