For the HTPC to be able to compete with set top boxes you really need to have TV being sent over the Internet and that means bandwidth, which right now means fiber to the curb My cable provider is upgrading it's network to be capable of 200 mb/s everywhere by the end 2008, using EuroDocsis 3.0 cablemodems. No fiber to the curb, but it's close (I think less than 100 homes are connencted to the same hub via coax, and those hubs are connected via fiber to the backbone). 200 mb/s is more than enough for a 25 mb/s HD video-on-demand channel. The big competitor of my cable provider is the telephone company, and they are providing TV over IP via ADSL.
