The funny thing is, which video output would they choose? Composite? God no. Component? Eek, *three* extra ports. DVI? HDMI? The truth is they would need *all* of them. It ceases to be a simple change at that point. If you go that far, you might as well turn it into a video squeezebox, which you discuss in your next paragraph... > Personally I just wish there was a SqueezeVideo.

Everyone is all a-ragin' about AppleTV. XBMC would be *great* if it could decode mpeg4, but it's not powerful enough. The thing is, any device that comes out right now is really still in the 'early adopter' phase. I'd say that in 18-24 months you're going to see a serious uptick, spurred in large part by AppleTV. The first device that plays all media from UPNP servers and also integrates with Netflix will be a real winner, in my book. Ben
