That's entirely the fault of the TV cartel. If they could get their collective act together, these TV add-on modules would have gotten off the ground.

You could have a TV monitor with a couple of empty sockets on it to put a streaming module or NTSC antenna card or DirecTV card or whatever.

Consider that things are the way they are because the involved companies are short-sighted, collusive, and uncooperative on standards, and the fact you need cable spaghetti and half a dozen remotes is due to a lack of consumer protections, not a lack of bells and whistles in your TV.
