I've been consistently nodding my head at Adrien's posts in this thread. Or nodding off. I forget.
We have a PC co-located with the TV. Once upon a time, I had visions of it replacing my CD changer, DVD player and satellite box.
I did laboriously rip all my CD's, so I got 1 out of 3, which actually makes me pretty happy.
The user interface and connectivity issues for the other two uses ultimately made me decide that stand-alone devices remain "better" for me and our family.
But I am VERY happy to have the PC there, because then I can stream web content to the TV ad-hoc, and also surf the web while I am watching TV (I do have a separate monitor besides the TV display).
