It'll be interesting to see what this means for those of us with current TVs. From what I can tell, they seem to be talking more about the next generation of TVs which will have some sort of cable-compatible device built into the TVs. I don't think there will be a way to get rid of set-top boxes for those of us currently using them with our current TVs.
I think DVRs will still need a separate box. But maybe they can get smaller in physical size. My current STB is pretty big and heavy, compared to all of my other home theater equipment. Only my old-school laserdisc player is as big and heavy as my cable STB.
