I agree to an extent, but a couple of thoughts....one, it isn't as difficult as you might think. As a poster below stated, there is mysettopbox.tv. I use a bootable CD of this on a computer that normally boots to winxp off the hard drive. My 9 year old can set it up. Two, you can do much more than watch tv if you set up a computer. I routinely browse the web (quick switch during the phillies game to confirm that stat I'm arguing with someone about), capture digital video and photos, play mp3's (madman plug!), play quake, etc.
