Re: DirecTV coming to Media Center Edition & Xbox 360 Dashboard?

Sorry, I'm just not that eager to have a PC that doesn't do anything but watch TV. You can already send video and audio of the same "standard def" quality to your PC with Svideo and stereo connects, so what does this offer us really? I already got a DVR, using my PC for that purpose only makes sense if I can actually DO something with the content besides watch it.

They will try to invent reasons for you to buy new hardware, mostly aimed at consumers that don't know they don't really need it. If you already have DTV hardware, why do you need to have it integrated into your Xbox? I don't get this. If all you want is PC connectivity, use a good vid card with inputs and you're good to go.
