I like my devices to be seperate for several reasons.

  1. More often than not dedicated devices do there job better than an inclusive device.
  2. More often than not it costs more to have one device do three jobs than three devices do one job each.
  3. Two words - device failure. If my console was ever to break, I still have my dvd, dvr, and pc to keep me happy. If I was getting all those functions through my one device and it failed, I'd be hooped. Worst of all would be if my super mega media console had a problem that the manufacturer felt required it be shipped in for repair - I'd have zero functionality but wouldn't be able to justify spending the bucks for replacement devices, knowing my uber device would be coming back someday.
