Good question! For me the attraction is that I live in a small apartment so I don't really have room for a separate TV/DVD player. Oh, and also money. My 17" ViewSonic CRT + Pinnacle PCTV card + lirc + xine + xawtv makes a very good tv/vcr. Plus I already have the cable for free since I pay for cable internet. All I need now is a motorized monitor arm that rotates/swivels so my monitor faces me when I sit down on the couch! And maybe an X10 controller or whatnot so when I hit "video" on the Pinnacle remote it activates the monitor arm..
