Living Room PC

Does anyone have one of these? I've seen them advertised lately. It's a sort of PC/TV combined with a Freeview box.
Are they any good?
I need a PC for a small dining room so thought combining it with the TV would be a good idea. I will be using it mainly for internet and managing photos, not for games.

    It is possible (easy ?) to add freeview to a 'normal' pc.

    Thanks, but I don't have a PC at home, and was looking for an easy solution. I used to be a programmer but I'm hopeless with hardware!

    Do you mean I media center PC? They are pretty common and widely available but they are just PCs with special versions of Windows (or other OS) on them.
    Faith is believing what you know ain't so...

    No, it's described as a "living room PC & HDTV package" "digital TV tuner ... yet still offers all the functionality of a normal PC". With 17" or 19" TFT monitor.
