Does it really matter which finally becomes more popular?
If you ask me they'll both be made obsolete by T.V.'s with built in hard drives and smart chips (a.k.a. C.P.U.'s). I'm not saying that the home computer and television will merge (people who like using their computers as T.V.'s already do so).
I'm saying the T.V. will be its own computer unto itself and extra boxes like Tivo or a DVR just won't be necessary.
Course, that little rant doesn't help your present dilemma.....
