No you have to buy the tv shows, but there is youtube for free stuff. Also if you own any dvds of shows you can rip them and view them from TV
whats the point of naming it tv then? they should call it youtube tv or something!!
*You can watch and record liveTV on the AppleTV with EyeTV.

Ok, I'm not usually negative, but come on. Even your TV by itself doesn't get channels (in most cases), you need a cable box or an antenna to get those.
AppleTV is simply the Apple experience on your TV and the Apple experience is about UI and digital content.

In the real world a TV can pick up normal analogue channels, it should only be digital services that you need a additional box. Well in Europe anyway.

Eventhough I love my AppleTV - there's no denying it's a misnomer.
I cancelled my cable when TV 2.0 came out and I haven't looked back. As somebody (like the rest of you) raised on being fed TV programming, it felt a little awkward and I missed it for a while but soon enough, I was buying my favorite TV shows for a lot less than I paid cable per month.
I got free DVDs with my dvd player. Free tapes with my VCR. Oh wait...
Free Apple stickers with your AppleTV?

Jesus H - never have I read such rabbid attacks on a post, which in the grand total of things, is meaningless.
I'm simply trying to get the following idea across: When a non-Apple fanboy walks into BestBuy (or whatever store you want) and sees a product called "Apple TV", they immediately assume, it's some type of Apple brand converter box for their cable or satellite hookup.
Flame me more if you wish!
