Hello Esteemed Listmates,
Yep, I know this is so far off of any topic normally permitted here, 
but I'm completely befuddled and perhaps someone knows exactly what 
I'm looking for.

Step One, new kitchen, 300 sq. ft., now will have a 40" LCD TV, 
Yamaha 5.1 stereo.  Will also need all the other gadgets: cable box, 
dvd player/recorder, tivo, whatever.

Here's my curiosity-- is there, available, a pc/mac/linux computer 
unit that can take the place of any/all gadgets, and perform all 
functions of a cable box channel switcher, dvd player/recorder, tivo?

If not, there should be, darnit.

Okay, thousands of apologies to everyone for this misguided post.
