One thing about regular plain ol' TVs. They work. My Comcast DVR has so many problems that I have replaced it once (bad file links on the recordings). Many hangs, reboots etc.
This may be an interesting play toy for awhile, that will be about it.
A friend just turned in his Vonage system as there were way too many problems for it to be a reliable phone system.
Interesting to see all of these comments about teens/tots disrupting films. If that happened here, I would get the management involved immediately. There is no reason my money should go for someone elses rudeness.
Having said this, we have a new Cinema here (called Cinetopia) that is showing 1st run movies, costs about 20% more than standard prices (9.50USD for a regular showing, 13.50USD for a "living Room" Theatre". Check out http://www.cinetopiatheatre.com/ as I now call this a complete experience. A 1st class restaurant within the Theatre (Wine Bar, Tapas, etc). Also the seats are all wider, leather (not cloth) and each row has 9" more legroom and is 9" taller than standard stadium seating.
There are only a few of these types of theatres around the country and I am sold. I will never go to a Regal again (Course I have been going to Century Theatres anyway). No Advertising!
Unfortunately, most business only learns by losing money.
In this case EA paid handsomely for the rights to NFL, so the winner will be....
The NFL.
EA will lose a lot of money, which will hit their share price. EA will then whip the designers even harder and tell them that the whippings will stop when the products get better.
Great for morale!

I don't think my four banger calculator goes that high?
