TV with screenshot/screen capture

One feature I wish I had on a TV would be to press a button on the remote to take a screenshot of what's currently being shown. Given the plethora of attachable USB devices/SD cards/Ethernet ports, storing the resulting jpg wouldn't be an issue, and given the current tech to play videos/show youtube etc I can't believe…

One feature I wish I had on a TV would be to press a button on the remote to take a screenshot of what's currently being shown.

Given the plethora of attachable USB devices/SD cards/Ethernet ports, storing the resulting jpg wouldn't be an issue, and given the current tech to play videos/show youtube etc I can't believe that the current electronics couldn't handle it.

So I guess it's a rights thing, with TV manufacturers for some reason not allowed to do this (is it something to do with their HDCP agreements?) - I'm not looking for movie capture (or sound) just screenshots from video games or live TV.

Anyone heard of a TV that does this?
