Not true.

If you're doing multiple processors, then you need to address the network. Want reliable streaming for music or video regardless of which black box you sell, then you have to ditch the ISP router. But for a single room theater, you can live on their network just fine, and the processor can be WiFi.

It's no different than anything else we sell that attaches to the net. Want it reliable, want the apps, streaming, integrated stuff, then you need to own the network.
