Help! TV/Music/Streaming/Radio System

jesse_the_kWe've been using a hodge-podge of modern and "classic" technology to watch TV (with line 21 and HD captions) from DVD and over-the-air, listen to AM/FM radio and to audio streamed locally from our computers ("Airplay").
The podge just collapsed, and I think it's time to get a new working system. MyGuy is less convinced.
Is it time to recreate the cobbled set-up (replacing a 15 yr-old-receiver?)
Is there some Hot New Tech just around the corner so we should do without for six months?
Both of our hearing is going, so super high-fidelity is irrelevant. Two speakers have served us fine for 30 years, and I don't know where we'd put three more.
Why can't one buy a DVD player which both supports streaming output and a WiFi hub?
What I'm really asking for:
Anyone reading interested in guiding me through this decision, or pointing me to a helpful user-run forum where these issues are discussed?
