This whole business does sound like a proper pain in the tits. You'd hope that the newer models would have solved the problems with a PC connection, despite them seeming to introduce a whole load more.
Main motivation for this (even above surround sound) is to avoid having all the usual crap connected directly to the TV, especially when phone/tablet apps mean you can do without needing line of sight between yourself and the devices.
