Like many things with Apple, I think these initial reports about them killing cable are a bit over-hyped.

It's version 1. Version 1 from Apple is almost always a large-scale proof-of-concept demonstration. Once version 2 rolls around, we'll have a better idea of how well or poorly it's going to work. (Or if really poorly, there won't even be a version 2.)

Agreed. Therefore, it is exaggerated to call it a potential "cable-killer". Maybe version 2 will be, but most people already know what version 2 is going to need in order to kill cable.
