IPTV - when will your living room become a media centre?

This x-mas season will be very exciting for everyone who has been watching the development of the Microsoft Media Center Edition in the recent years. I am pretty sure that MCE-enabled settop boxes or PC-TV-connectors will be the new killer devices in the living room - the question is when will they be affortable and when will the market momentum increase? Will it already be this x-mas-season? What do you think?

Feel free to discuss this with me right here or on the Medientage in Munic:

I will definitely watch the relevant eBay category and the currently one and only tool for eBay "mceAuctions": http://www.scendix.de/mceauction/index.php over the next months...
