With better and more complex hardware becoming standard in todays televisions, does anyone else see the HTPC becoming obsolete? While it will definitely be a few years before this is truly possible, but it does seem possible soon.
My current television is a few years old and already has a built-in media player that can access my NAS. Though the supported file-types are few and it likes to mix up what file is in which folder, still the thing is there.
While I'm sure the topic of getting a version of XBMC for Yahoo Internet Apps or Google TV has been discussed. What I'm proposing is the death of the HTPC and, inherently, XBMC if it does not adapt.
