That's what Apple tv is for...or mythtv or media center from MS. I do have a computer hooked up to my tv as well as a 24" widescreen on my main system. I watch dvds all the time on the 24 and stream all kinds of podcasts and other videos to my computer behind the tv. I've also got a large HD in there so all the kids dvds are on the HD and there is no digging them out of dvd cases. Very handy.
