When I was looking to replace my Replay I very quickly rejected the Apple TV. The problem with Apple TV is that it is really not about TV. Compare it to the Tivo, which is very much about TV and also does some things Apple TV does. The Apple TV is tied up in knots by the DRM demands of the media cartels. If Apple had launched an unshackled Apple TV, like it launched the iPod, paying no attention to the demands of the media cartels, it would have been a much more successful product. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
