How hard can it be to build a cheap box with a video decoder chip, an Ethernet port, A?V out, and some embedded software that allows me to select services and perform authentication to access them? As far as DRM, in case the content owners haven't noticed, pirated material is all over the Internet right now. I seriously doubt that such a box is going to make things any worse at this point.
My point exactly, these Electronic Companies are missing the boat. I'm waiting for a BluRay Player with an Ethernet Port and Software that plays various Video Formats including High Definition. This is all that is needed to connect to your HDTV to enjoy DRM Free Video.

Actually.. the xbox 360 streams Netflix video just fine from Windows Media Center.. I laughed at the fact netflix decided to issue out a box that ONLY decodes thier video, then to say it's coming to the 360 when it was technically already there. Thus making that box obsolete.
