casewindow: I own 2 Apple TV2's
Use them daily. I made a huge effort to digitise my dvd/bluray library and now enjoy tv shows and movies through appletv2.
I get the DVDs/BluRays cheap from Amazon UK (though recently the warehouse has been extremely competitive and I go there more often - especially for the back catalogue of movies 5-10 years old.
Also digitise the kids stuff (using a plugin for youtube you can get heaps of free stuff that the kids enjoy - nursery rhymes etc. & kids dvds from the warehouse are dirt cheap).
Also set it up with photo stream & the screen saver using photo stream so that we can see our photos on the TV.
For non-itunes compatible files I purchased air-video & use air-play to send files to my phone
All in all pretty impressed, just a pity that my pc has to be running (it would be easier if it could integrate with the NAS)
I have found that the renting/purchasing of movies is problematic (and have heard others say this) - the few times i have tried it downloading stopped with some random error and had to be retried. Once It just didn't succeed and I had to get a refund (that they processed pretty fast). I avoid that part of it.
The WAF is high as well.
