I have had my Apple TV for over a year now and i never had one problem with it crashing. I don't know what this guy is talking about... My advice...... if you own an ipod\iphone there is no choice.... Apple TV is the way to go. Sure you can watch movies and rent them, but the fact that your entier itunes account will be on your TV is the biggest selling point. I have a bunch of movies and music on my computer and now i have everything on my TV. Including all my pictures. Plus you can control your apple TV from your computer... I can listen to music in my office, then tell my itunes to sync the same song\playlist in my living room. And while Apple TV is playing music in the living room speakers, the TV has a great slide show playing from my iphoto libray. Plus it's an Apple, so the menu's are great and easy to use. And when they redesigned the software it was a free update via the web. I do agree their movie collection could use some beef'in up, but it hasn't been a major, or even minor, problem for me.
