Nobody can answer really. Only you and George Grave actually purchased an
AppleTV. You should have bought and Xbox 360. Does everything the Apple TV
does and a few hundred things it doesn't.- Hide quoted text -

So instead of a $399 AppleTV with 802.11n and a 160GB hard drive which
is extremely hackable they should have bought a $529 Xbox 360 ($399+
$100 wireless adapter + $29 remote) which is locked down with no hope
of customization (or if you do customized it MS locks you out of XBOX
Live) and you still only get a 20GB hard drive and 802.11g?
Actually the Xbox Elite is $429 includes a 120GB Hard Drive, is way more hackable, works with any wireless card you having lying around with a USB connector (I have like half a dozen). Download HD content today, download software, games, videos, watch live TV on it, use the Media Center DVR funtions on it, play Madden 07 on it, Play Halo 3 on it, play Gears of war on it. Watch HD DVDs on it, listen to your music on it, Browse the internet on it, send messages to your friends on it, Video conference on it, Stream video on it, Play Guitar Hero II on it, (totally bad ass game BTW), Dance on it, (another sweet game). And any other number of hundreds or thousands of things you can do it. Now that I think it about an Xbox is a more capable computer than a Power Mac tower, as all you can do on OS X is store iTunes garbage content on it.
But hey, you can also do slide shows on the Apple TV. LOLercoaster @ Mactards.
