Sky+ With A Built In DVD Player ??

I currently have a TV, DVD Recorder, FreeView and hate loadsa boxes but i'm interested in Sky+.
Does anyone know if Sky intended bringing out a Sky+ box with a built in DVD player or if its been mentioned ?
If/when they do i'll definatly get Sky+ and have it linked to other rooms enabling me to just have the TV and Sky+ Box

Can't see it happening, SKY could not make and sell such a device in a price range that the majority of people would expect considering DVD players sell for under £50 now. Just look at the price of the SKY+ 160, that's just a bigger HD and USB ports!
SKY+ with integrated DVD player would not replace the DVD recorder since that can archieve programming to DVD for long term storage and flexible useage while SKY+ recordings are tied to the HD and encrypted.

Get yourself a decent AV rack, looks good and keeps the cabling tidy and allows all the units plenty of room to breath
