"The living room experience is hinged on the device proliferation . . ."

Akash, I agree that consumers aren't going to add multiple devices to "clutter the living room." However, I disagree with Netflix's strategy. We, as consumers, should shun any kind of proprietary device. Let's keep things open and competitive. That's why I advocate the PC bridging the gap between the internet and the TV. This will support a competitive online movie-rental marketplace.

Om, is Reed on the panel? The living room experience is hinged on the device proliferation and content availability. i.e. the average consumer is not going to add multiple devices to the clutter in the living room. Netflix's strategy to partner with Bluray device manufacturer provides them with a great entry. And their content library is continuously improving. I'd love to hear their thoughts. E.g. are they partnering with CE folks to hook directly into the TVs?
