I own one, with it going to 69$ I am going to buy another. I love it for kids content because I can netflix without polluting his brain with advertisements which he can then use to pester me. It really is a ridiculous capability, and if I didn't have to maintain cable for ESPN (and with Jon's and others advice, I may actually use the new ESPN dish package tv thing) I would use only the Apple TV. That coupled with the fact that my house is an Apple house, I can tie it into photo streams for background picture display when listening to my entire itunes catalog. Include air play and it really is a ridiculously convenient tool. The biggest issue I had with it was that my router didn't support multicast correctly and ended up having to flash its firmware. You would really only care about this if you wanted to view content from your computer. You usually would only care about doing this if you have a bunch of ripped movies and such, or your music collection wasn't purchased off itunes. I would be glad to answer any specifics you or anyone else has.
