Maybe USA or Discovery. We watch so little TV I can't really say. We would be fine with just picking up a few shows a la carte.
Got a tip for us?

Direct competitor to the iTunes store so highly unlikely it will ever end up on the Apple TV.
Aereo is iffy also.
Things like Food Network, BBCAmerica etc more likely
----------
There may be contracts etc that are barring those, even for UK folks. Sucks since from what I recall, you don't really get a choice about paying for a tv license. It would be nice if you could get the content however you like.
Why only 3?
But for most flexibility...
Plex/PlexConnect (you can add a masive # of channels this way)
Amazon Player (their streaming, not purchase since it competes with iTunes)
Aereo (local channels)
Honestly, they should license or buy Plex. Then Add an app interface.
Make the search work to provide results across ALL your available services.

Bingo!!
Apple should create its own app for the AppleTV called The Horror Network, which would be "all things horror films".
But 3 other Networks to add would be,
AWE TV ( formerly WealthTV )
The Food Network
IFC Network

The Apple TV has so much potential but it is clearly held up by the greedy content providers. NFL channel would be great along with History channel. You all have some great suggestions, we clearly want to define our won experience and not subject ourselves any further to Time Warner, Comcast etc. By the way I am a cord cutter!!
Well, that's part of it. Another part (e.g., the NFL package) has to do with existing contractual obligations - using the NFL example, DirecTV paid a lot of money some years ago for exclusive rights through the 2014 season, which is why it isn't available anywhere else, ATV, FIOS, Comcast, you name it. But that contract expires at the end of the next football season, so we'll see what happens then.
The trend is in the cord-cutter's favor, but the market is still maturing. At some point, the ability of people to get most of what they want ala carte will drag the remaining providers into figuring out a way to accommodate that or else they will see any chance of profit walking away. In most cases, they control the data pipe connected to your house, so they'll still be in position to capitalize in some way on whatever you're doing.

Same here. Those are the three we miss most as cord cutters.
I'll add Amazon to the list though. The AppleTV is our most reliable streaming box (sorry Roku and crappy Sony BluRay streamer).

The process of using AirPlay to stream from your iPad to AppleTV is less than optimal on a large format display. In fact it's downright nasty looking.
As for channels, only need two really.
Any UVVU streamer, but VUDU is preferred becaus of its audio capabilities and disc to digital option.
Amazon for its prime freebie rentals.
Even better, just give us a store and let us use AppleTV to turn our TVs into giant iPads.
TOTALLY AGREE - MUBI is fantastic
For me RedBull TV is incredible as I LIVE FOR extreme sport & WSL World Surf League If you like MUBI, the French Film Festival supported by iTunes starts mid January online!!!
That's funny...see how much can change in 4-1/2 years?!?!?
