I almost posted the HTPC idea too, but this has been my experience as well... a lot of frustration spread out over close to eight years trying to make it work perfectly.
That said, it's worth mentioning that the current iteration of Windows 7's Media Center combined with the Media Browser plug-in has been *flawless* for me now for many, many months. I don't use my machines as a DVR since I get my TV content from Netflix or Amazon.com (both stream to PCs great!), but every other function is wonderful including DVD, BD, streaming, and digital content.
Both talk back to a Windows Home Server for storage & sharing, and it's been great as well once a couple tiny issues were addressed.
I set a similar box up for my parents, and they've been enjoying the flexibility too. This *isn't* the future because media distribution channels will ensure that it's not, but them aside it's totally the future!
