If only it were that simple. The fact of the matter is that many of us do not want / need a PC in the living room plugged into our stereo / TV / etc. Well, I guess I should say ANOTHER pc in addition to the Xbox.
It is still cheaper to buy a $199 xbox, a modchip, and add a TV card to the computer in the office/basement/bedroom. Then just stream the captured video from the PC over the LAN to the Xbox.
I've been running XboxMediaPlayer for a couple of weeks now and absolutly loving it.
