Then someone had better make an illegal application that does all this in a very attractive & easy-to-use way, because that seems to be the only way to get the companies off their asses and in action.

As I noted, there are plugins that make this very smooth from XBMC/Boxee. The chilling effects of copyright litigation prevent any real polish going into an out-of-the-box product, at least in America. Maybe another group of Swedes with the fortitude of The Pirate Bay's founders will crop up some time and take this on.
