Watching that MLB.tv demo on the iPad had me thinking: The iPad is going to add some serious interactivity to my live TV as long as they can figure out how to get live tv onto my iPad.

As we’ve seen, sport fans can benefit from the live stats and home/away team announcers, but how far can we take this?

Am I going to be able to vote my favorite American Idol on to the next round while I’m watching?

We’ll have to start seeing networks with their own apps and subscription fees like MLB.tv, but if Rachel Ray shows me a recipe for ribs and the iPad lets me download the recipe while watching- that’s what we in the business like to call a game-changer.
