This underscores a major part of our long-term strategy for the North American market, which is to develop set-top box solutions with a common platform that can easily be deployed on any network."

With a product like this, can I store all of my music CDs on the hard drive too, or even an external SATA drive?  That would be nice.  You figure at some point they will come up with an "all in one" media solution for our living rooms.  It just seems to take a long time.
