I would... 1. Get my movies from Netflix 2. Rent some TV shows from iTunes 3. View the rest of the TV shows on Hulu.com or a network website. TV can be a dollar sucking hole and what do you really get out of it? Hmmm. If it had a web browser, keyboard, and mouse, I would use it and drop my television service. I would…

As for mine, I like it ok enough. I haven't bought any movies for it, but usually use it to watch podcasts, dvds ripped with handbrake, or tv shows recorded with eyetv. I also like the youtube feature (although searching is a pain) and once used it to watch an entire season of a certain TV reality show (which will remain nameless) albeit in 10-minute fragments and not-so-great quality.

Upstairs, I have the mac mini with 1.5 TB storage, all my photos, CDs, and soon all my DVDs ripped to it, stream them to the Apple TV. I like the setup a fair bit. The new UI looks much nicer than the current Front Row-esque one, so I'm excited for that. I'm not, however, excited for yet another video download system that gives me only 24 hours to watch a movie once started. Impossible to do with a toddler. Of course, it's still an unpatched bug that you can reset your system clock to get around that, but....... I have one, which I hook up to the TV via HDMI.
