Sega is setting the pace now - they'll be in prime position soon!
Sega today ended the flurry of speculation surrounding the DC's future manifestations by announcing a deal with Pace Micro Technology, the UK-based leaders in the set-top box industry. This exciting new innovation will be showcased at international roadshows from the end of January. The box will take advantage of the Dreamcast's network connectivity, combined with its own rapid broadband connections and big capacity built-in hard drive. Basically, this will allow you to download games via the net, play online games and watch telly and other entertainment content via the single piece of hardware. Other innovations promised include the ability to insert customised characters into games, chat in real time and, thanks to high-speed downloading, you can play back any programmes you may have inadvertently missed.
This is obviously an exciting development in the DC's evolution, shedding the skin of the console like a cocoon and becoming a vital cog in a much more powerful and flexible incarnation, so make sure you check back regularly for all the latest details.

Maybe so, but it's more than likely an attempt to prevent the PS2 train from picking up too much momentum before they're ready.
MS are notorious for trying to produce an all-in-one package, so that their product is considered to be "all anyone needs" and thus thwarting any and all opposition. I see no reason to believe that they'll change their ways with X-Box.

Microsoft has been having a go at Sony for trying to make the PS2 and Entertainment system, rather than a games machine for a while not...
It's the way things are going... Sony have had similar plans for PS2 since it's launch, and no doubt MS will come up with something similar for Xbox.
I doubt the DC will survive if it were only to come in a set top box form. Mind u, if more get on the band waggon (DVD manufacturers etc) then it could take of.
Rumor has it that Bill gates may announce that the Xbox plays DC games using the DC chipset... that would be great for Sega's future.
