I'm not entirely sure why Apple is keeping this product alive. Compared to it's other offerings Apple tv is an embarrassment. Even front row for the Mac is very lacking. It's just not worth it when you can build a windows media center box that will give you an infinitely more fulfilling tv experience. It's really a shame because you can tell Apple just isn't putting any effort into this product. It has the potential to do some amazing things.
Don't take life to seriously! You'll never get out of it alive.

Since you can hook almost any windows computer to a TV and watch any number of free web sites for movies and tv shows. why get an apple box, or copy a dvd to watch via apple box when you can use a dvd palyer which is a whole lot cheaper than an applebox.
