If it were easy, everyone would be doing it.
Consider the TV question: there are boxes that are technically capable of providing the "anything you want to watch, anytime, anywhere." You can buy a Roku or a Raspberry Pi running XBMC right now for less than $100. The remote control interfaces are tolerably intuitive.
The problem is content. The winner in this space will provide "everything, anytime, anywhere." You're not going to get all the major US networks, world networks (BBC), cable juggernauts (ESPN, HBO), to agree to the "anytime anywhere" model.
Therefore it's a social (ie: legal) problem rather than a technical problem. As long as the legal system remains a quagmire of international content deals, you're not going to get first-run Japanese anime, Eastenders, Game of Thrones, and Michigan State football games on your TV on a single Roku-like box unless you're a pirate, a VPN whiz, or both.
