Yes, looking at the SB X-Fi with optical (Pioneer has optical inputs).

Like the idea of just getting plug and play XBOX ot PS3, connect to Internet and be done with it.

However the tech inside wants to build a PC with Internet... then I could loose the satellite and DVD and run everything through the computer.

Thing is I'm bit of an audio/video snob and don't want to give up any quality in sound/picture.
