I think the above commenter is exactly right, who needs another box, that's why we need an open solution that combines all these features. We may not have perfect convergence, but if there's an open box then at least providers like Vatata can port applications to it. I appload them for porting to the Neuros OSD, I'm biased, I work for Neuros, but regardless it seems obvious that this is a great application for a set-top box rather than something that needs to duplicate the hardware already under the TV set.

Just what we need... another box. Most of us love collecting boxes. There's the cable box, the TiVo, the Wii, the XBOX, the receiver/tuner, the Apple TV, the Sling Box and even the old VHS that we don't really use but still have sitting there.

How long till all of this is wireless? 10 years? 20? Never?
