There is an obvious transition state going on between tv manufacturer’s, online movie providers, and pc manufacturers and software support. (ie. microsoft playforsure) What comes out in ithe wash from all this is anybody’s guess, just make sure your hardware can support the latest thats out there.

How about the long ago promised DirecTV interface for Media Center PCs?  I would gladly pay several $100 for that, I have no interest in another closed set top box.
