To be fair, you can't get all that with one system if you keep the cord attached, either.

I really would love to be able to use some of the storage on AppleTV or Amazon to be able to download "Frozen" to its internal HD so I don't have to stream it everytime and waste bandwidth.
Unfortunately, the studios don't trust honest users, so as usual the easiest way to do what you want is to "steal" the content via torrents or usenet. That way you can manage your media the way you want.

But you're right, I think. The closest you can get right now to your "one system" is probably the FireTV. Obviously Vue and music content won't be a problem there. You don't get a direct antenna in, but you can use a Tablo or HDHomerun I think to get basically the same thing. As for your central repository of "purchased" content, you'll probably have to use alternative methods as I mentioned, and then do something like run a Plex server and access your media with the Plex app on the FireTV.

Would a PS4 be viable? It would allow me to run PSVue as well as Hulu, HBO Go, Netflix (i think). Does the PS3 or PS4 have an attachment that will accept a COAX cable for OTA TV (similar to the Xbox one)?
Finally, what does Playstation use as it's store for music/movies? It has it's own, right?

ETA: The ONLY downside is that I wouldnt be able to stream in 4k. Which isn't a big deal since I don't have a 4k TV.
