If your TV is "netflix enabled" it means it is "everything else disabled", which is a poor choice for the consumer, and the consumer KNOWS IT. They aren't as likely to fall for it anymore.

So there is little reason to pay signficiantly more for an apple box that does signficantly less that other products out there. As Danny said, the GoogleTV thing might be a change.
I own an Apple TV. Rather have my Laptop with the HDMI port. Then I watch what I want.
