The kicker is that when the broadcast side becomes irrelevant, their box will probably be unable to support it due to design (App popup over input TV, fine. App popup over App... CPU/GPU issues, no doubt), so you will most likely have to upgrade your hardware.
Yup.This is right up there with integrating an ATSC receiver in the TV, which is already outdated.
Makes far more sense to keep the box separate ala Apple TV. At $99 its not a big deal to replace it in a few years. Or Apple could give the box away when the cloud ecosystem is more mature...
