The only problem with the current generation Apple Tv units is that they are the epitome of "cloud". Unless you have local sources (which only work with iTunes, so you can forget about DLNA), you'll be streaming everything off your Internet connection. Data caps notwithstanding for those that purchase such plans, unless you have a decent link, it could be quite frustrating. Being connected to an ISP that has (local or regional) peering with Akamai, Limewire, Google, Apple, e.t.c. (and better, if those companies are actually serving data in your region) goes a long way to making that experience more palatable. Mark.
