Here in the uk we have a thing called BBC Iplayer. And since the bbc are the only people who make anything decent a tv is useless.

I have this for my Wii. :D

So basically, it's another TV
All they do is stick apple on the name. Why would you buy an expensive TV to listen to music if you have an iTunes account anyway? As for movies, just rent the DVD
Apple TVs are a gimmick

it's not an actual tv

i also have apple tv, i love it

this is what they look like:

The new TV's these days can do this, except the iTunes part.

My tv can use BBC iplayer, demand five, YouTube and a bunch of other stuff already built in. I think you can download music too which is pointless

I have XBMC

It's like Apple TV only you can get music free with a Grooveshark plugin and do a bunch of other stuff. Only downside is, the Xbox's GPU can't handle HD video, so you can only watch SD stuff on it.

If my crappy laptop can watch HD video, then I'm pretty sure that's not the reason.

I have a computer and I have a TV with a Sky+HD Box.
I don't really need to combine the two.
If I want television, I turn on the TV and watch.
If I want music I either turn on the music channels, listen to music on my computer, or put my iPod in it's docking station and listen to it from there.
If I want a movie, I put it into my computer, or watch it online, or I turn my DVD Player on.

Why does everything need to be in one piece?

It's an Xbox from 2001, I'm pretty sure that's a good reason.

Okay? And it can play some pretty graphic-intense games, yet my laptop can barely run Gmod.
