That's fine for most of us, but a lot of people would like a system where they pop a disk in the slot under the TV and "shortly afterwards" are able to watch it. The WAF for such a function would be a lot higher than any "well you have to go to this other system, run some magic incantations, and eventually you'll be able to watch the disk" setup.
