One thing to consider
There is a lot of negativity about formats that Atv won't play. And those comments are reflective of what folks on this forum would like to see in a product from apple. However, the Atv will be of interest to those of us who think that the apple store for movies and TV shows is really not a bad deal. For instance, I can by a season of popular shows like NCIS for around $30. Yesterday at Barnes and noble, a season costs about $59. Likewise, for most people a $10 downloaded movie at itunes resolution is plenty. Many people will just rent anyway from the local store. There are some movies that I will buy from iTunes, so I can see them when I want. And I would rather pay $10 to $15 for the download than $20 to $29 for some recent releases.
What I am saying is just this, Atv will have utility for some of us. Granted more features is better than fewer features, but lets give apple a little time to develop this gizmo.
