John - re: "Next step, someone probably has to figure a way to network the PC to the TV, so you can watch programs recorded onto your hard drive, on your TV." I have been doing that for more than a year - Matrox makes a number of cards which support TV out, as do other companies. Even an old 10MB ethernet will pump full quality uncompressed video around pretty nicely, although I run 100 ethernet. I can also go the other way and pump standard video into the network and pick it up anywhere - that requires the ability to take standard video (NTSC) and convert to MPEG2 in realtime. Matorx makes several cards which do that. You can play the streams, store them on disk, edit them, burn them on CDs or DVD... here's a link to Matrox video capture and editing products... matrox.com
