ATV useless outside the US
I have had an ATV3 since December 2012 and have used it precisely never (except turning it on to see what it looked like).
Nobody outside the US cares about baseball and NFL, and the other services offered are only available in the US. The majority of Apple's market is outside the United States. The only useful app is Netflix and I already have that on my TV and blu-ray player and so end up using one of those for a stream. At the very least they desperately need Sky and Lovefilm in the UK. They should release an 'app store' for it.
I have been waiting for a jailbreak to make this hunk of plastic useful but now realise it's probably never going to happen.
I wouldn't recommend an ATV to anyone until they sort out the content.
