Prediction - AV Convergence - Next Big Thing

So what happens when the run on flat screen TVs runs it's course? Well, the next "big thing" IMHO will be the turn of AV Convergence. Say what?

Basically I mean the turn of HTPC. Except, more than that. I think this market will take off once:

• The equipment looks more like stereo components.
• You can drive nearly everything via dials and knobs on the front of the unit.
• Includes the following:
• Digital TV & PVR
• Timeshifting
• Digital Radio (free to air and Internet)
• DVD/CD Player/Recorder
• Image Library
• Front side controls (volume, input selector, tuner, power off, CD/DVD controls)
• Front side AV inputs (accepting Digital AND Analogue)
• And most importantly, is affordable.

They should've been more invasive except manufacturers have made them look and act like PCs instead of stereo components. Once they wake up to that mistake, watch them take off.
