Thinking of re-organising my TV set-up as I think I could manage all my TV viewing via online catchup services.

Hopefully then I could get rid of the set top box and quite a few cables.

I'm not sure of the best way to be able to watch all these on the TV.

I've got a Blu-ray player with a Smart Hub which has iPlayer.
I can get ITV Player with the Freesat box, but I'd hope to get rid of this.
I've not found a suitable way to view 4oD.

One possibility I've come across is a PS3. I gather this can be used for all 3 services and would possibly be a substitute for my Blu-ray player as well.

Anyone know if there are any other suitable devices for getting catchup catchup services onto the TV? Don't want laptop connected to TV as I'm looking for a standalone platform. Or does anyone know if the PS3 would be any good for this?
