But you're right, I think. The closest you can get right now to your "one system" is probably 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.

PS4 is a viable option for those that are more tech savvy IMO.

I used the PS4 for about a week, but switched to the FireTV. The FireTv lends it lard more to the non-tech user (wife, mother-in-law etc.) Also using the gaming controller sucks on he PS4 and I didn't care for their media remote either.

The PS4 does not accept a coax for OTA channels like the XBOne does. I bought a $40 digital tuner for the living room, and use the on board receives for the other tvs in the house. The digital tuner box can record, but I don't use it. We mainly use the OTA to catch the news, and will use it to watch football when the time comes.


And to answer your question about moving content already owned to a different ecosystem- I'm pretty sure you are out of luck. Just keep the AppleTV as well, not a big deal to switch sources- we had to do the same thing.
