But why you post like it's not a great fit for some others, or has no practical use besides watching iTS-purchased DVDs, makes no sense to me.
I suppose a little bit of my unconscious resentment may have been towards Apple's marketing strategy. Apple seems to play

TV up as though it is the answer to wireless entertainment, when the truth is it's simply a way for Apple to sell more movies on iTunes. While I am optimistic that internet content will transform and advance home entertainment, I do not agree with Apple using that an as excuse to simply push sub-DVD quality movies at in store DVD prices. Further, ripping an entire DVD collection in an acceptable iTunes format would take weeks for the average home user, so

TV isn't about wireless movies and shows home owners currently have, it's more slanted to videos that consumers may buy through iTunes, and the quality of those video's is not something worth investing $9.99-$14.99. Further, I bought a 12' DVI Monster cable for roughly $100 that connected my Mac to my Pioneer Plasma as a Mac Display before the purchase of my Pioneer Blu-ray player (those cables come in DVI to HDMI for individuals whose flat screens don't have DVI/PC inputs). Using such a cable is MUCH cheaper than an

TV as it allowed playback of any video content from my PC onto my monitor and didn't restrict my media content in any way. True, not exactly a wireless solution and it doesn't play music in my stereo, but my system has a digital optical out that goes right into my AVR, allowing DVD's from my Mac to play onto my HDTV with 5.1 surround sound (again, this was before I broke down and spent a fortune on the Pioneer Blu-ray player, and yeah, expensive as all hell lol, that was a painful purchase as I'm certain those prices will tumble soon but I just had to have it lol

).
Bottom line, I'm a HUGE Mac fanatic. Hell, I'll arm wrestle any PC/Windows user any day

. However, Apple's shameful ploy in selling

TV's as the next iPod for home video entertainment is shameless, as it really is an Apple marketing device to sell more iTunes content.
