Not really, compression really limits the quality of any high def video that you could download, at least until 100Mbit Internet is pervasive.
A Blu-ray movie is 20-30GB or more, compress that down to 2 or 3GB for Apple TV.. compression isn't magic, compression = loss of information.
Or look at it another way, Blu-ray has a 40Mbit/s bitrate, Apple TV currently supports 4Mbit/s.
(Uncompressed 1920x1080 60fps is 3000Mbit/s!)
