In some ways you can think of this as a convergence device; it lets  
you project any PC in the home through the extender up into the  
living room. It lets you download high definition videos. It lets you  
play video games and now with IPTV it gives you the state-of-the-art  
TV viewing experience.

So all those things you want in the living room really don’t require  
five remote controls and different user interfaces. Obviously as we  
drive the price down because of the incredible volumes there, that  
will allow this, as a set-top box, to not be a super premium price  
and yet have way more capabilities than the term set-top box has ever  
called to mind.
