I think the manufacturers are completely missing their market. The sub $500 price range is what they need to be aiming for. And at a $2000 price point you'd think they could manage to drop in a ATSC/QAM tuner, or a cablecard slot?? For half that cost a HTPC would have 100 times the functionality. If they can't get these devices down to a reasonable cost, they ought to just be releasing a nice commercial HTPC instead of a crippled standalone device
