We're thinking a lot about the ways you receive and watch TV this week, with a look back at the last 20-ish years of set-top boxes beginning with the venerable TiVo. Remember paying a monthly fee for TV listings, or hacking your old Xbox to run an open-source media player? How frustrating is it that content has become so balkanized, just when all the apps are finally available everywhere? Are built-in TV apps ever going to be good enough to replace the boxes entirely? We consider these and a bunch of other subjects.
