Sekker,
Heck no. That’s a reason to _not_ buy one, especially if the TV costs twice as much as its competitor’s equivalent. What do you do when one of these components fails after the warranty expires? What happens when one of the components becomes obsolete? In the case of the DVR, AT3 and cable box, I’d much rather have each a separate component. That way, if the component breaks or if a notcieably better version is released, I can swap it out.
