Apple hasnt really had the same experience with AppleTV. While there are many compelling reasons to get one, it isnt a "must have". Yet. Perhaps if Apple innovated up the value chain making some heavy duty equipment with the ability to play videos (please Apple, acknowledge other file formats besides .mp4 and .mov) from a media server. Or just put a 1Tb drive in the AppleTV model of the HDTV and a H.264 encoder and let me have my way with my media library.
