My Directv box allows me the ability to stream Pandora, access all of my music files from my computer, view Youtube, as well as view television and movies, but it won't allow me the ability to browse the internet. The interface for searching Youtube is limited to certain vidieos, so I don't have the ability to view all of them. Also, typing parameters in the search bar with the remote is horrid and time consuming.

My goal is to make it all as seamless as possible. The internet has become a major centerpoint of entertainment in the house, that it only makes sense to go this route.

I wonder if it would be cheaper in the long run to buy a computer with the needed hook-ups versus rebuilding a current one.
