a full media center pc will also do Tivo which i dont think xbox does, but no real reason why it couldnt if you replaced the hard drive
and a < $50 used xbox is a lot cheaper than a pile of consumer electronics
but if a set top box with a brand name makes you feel better, DLink, Buffalo, Linksys, and others make units that do all of this, usually with full HD capability and built in wireless for around $100-$200
