Sure. That'll happen just shortly after the average joe figures out how to get the blinking "12:00" off his VCR.
The people that'll get the most use out of XTV are the people who want the advantages of online delivery, without wanting to become intimate (heh) with his computer. XTV setup is very very straightforward: 1 box, 1 cable to the net, RGB (or YCrCb) to the TV, and you're already online with scads of content and no hassles. Plus the thing weighs maybe a pound and a half... toss it in a suitcase while you're on vacation and if your hotel has net, you have your entire library without having to haul around a laptop.
