This is very interesting discussion. I guess the real thread for average user comes from external complexity Any mass-market solution should be easy to set-up and operate by one fingertip. Interestingly TV solution rivals are: Samsung with its HUB, Philips with similar ideas and of course Apple. Apple TV and coming real TV box will change the entertainment world soon. I see that standard broadcast will have serious problems from this side. Who needs a standard TV when you can stream everything from internet using one of HUBX or possible iTune? Still market is fresh and many solutions are not mature, but main brands are already far ahead of most. I personally believe that Logitech could launch the product doing both: audio and video. I would be happy to move all my movies to the same server where my music is. But would it be really implementable and supported? Main argumentation against would be the piracy (as all discussions about movies). It would be great to move all DVDs and later Blue-Rays to the server and have them available at any time I need and it is possible (to some extend) with Apple platform Pity, I see Logitech is a bit too late to get to this market and content provider is a key for success. Google did not fulfill this role. Another alternative would be to move to the same filed where big boys are to start offering content like e.g. Apple does. But this would not fit to Logitech business model as it is now, and produces a lot of conflicts with many partners, even with Apple. I see it as less likely happening.
