However, in all honesty when I first read Alexandre's description I envisioned something more like the reflection shown below the icon in this image: http://rtg.in.ua/galleries/mythtv/mythtv-screen.jpg
We could tone down the reflection a bit and make the horizontal line more prominent; this would also help segment the page a bit so that the screenshot isn't running into the news as much,
Thoughts on whether this is a good idea or terrible?
The problem with that is that it involves extra work (possibly significant extra work, if we want to use the effect on other screenshots on the site), because every time the screenshot is changed, someone will have to produce a new "reflection" graphic. It also increases the vertical space needed for each image to which it's applied by around 1/3, and might require moving or removing the "More screenshots" link (you'll notice that your sample image does not have text directly below it).
