I'm just wondering what features an iTV would have.
Here's my guess:
1) OLED screen or better.
2) Internet. For iTunes, Netflix, etc.
3) Cable/satellite activation. So if you don't have TV service, the iTV will automatically present a "TV Activation Assistant." Using the Activation Assistant, you can set up an account with any cable or satellite TV provider that serves your area or add a TV package to your existing account. If you need a technician to connect your TV to the TV provider, the iTV will allow you to select a date and tiem for the technician to visit your house or business.

Terrible channel. There is nothing on it I like. Other than the occasional X-factor viewing.

It is god awful. I'm scanning my brain now for something good on that channel.

... The latest Emmerdale intro?
I'm all out.

Cable/satellite won't work because that requires proprietary hardware. No way DISH is going to work with Apple on this to integrate their hardware into an iTV.
