Amy,

We don't watch the boob tube, but I have a hard time picturing a family sitting around watching a 17" monitor with a noisy CPU fan, dissipating 50-100W, in the background.

Set top boxes (powered by 1W embedded CPU's) will soon have DVD and recordable magnetic storage for delayed playback. I think that is a much more likely future than PC's in the living room.
