<i>I'm not sure what's hard about Boxee, Netflix over the XBox, or even just having a computer hooked up to a television in general. It's not like there's a difference between them now, other than size.</i><p>Definitely agree about Boxee and Netflix.  They are designed around providing a simple user experience, and all the consumer needs is familiarity.<p>Plugging in a computer is another matter though.  There's a mental barrier there that people will just never overcome.  Computers are complicated, and people use them for other things (okay maybe only web surfing and email).  They don't want to plug it in and start a program, no matter how simple it is.  Even if the program was henceforth telepathic and let you watch any content instantaneously in HD it would be a hard sell.<p>Dedicated boxes are the way this will go.
