But a roku box ($59 to $99) is far cheaper. I got one about a month ago and I love it. Combine that with a digital antenna and I am seriously considering dropping cable.

Honestly, I expected Apple to utilize the A4 processor in the AppleTV and the memory space available far more than it has (or hasn't, as the case may be).

I fully expected Apple to release a' la cart programming several months ago. The AppleTV has the computing power to easily manage this feat. If I could pay $5/month for each channel I actually watch - I could drop my $88/month satellite bill to zero. Video-on-demand, streaming from Netflix and watching ONLY the channels that I like would save me a fortune. Why am I forced to supplment channels that I have no interest in watching .... ever?

Better yet, a decent Blu-Ray player will run you around $150 and will have all the benefits of a Roku box plus it will play Blu-rays and DVD’s.
