Ahh, 160 GB AppleTV. I have one of those.

In all honesty though, I should've gone with the 40 GB. With the amount of video I was buying from the Canadian and American stores, I had to purchase an external hard drive to store much of my media. I split my media into two iTunes Libraries, Music and Video.

However, my music library also contains all my video podcasts, so if I want to watch them on my TV, I have to sever AppleTV from the video library, which de-sync's everything stored on it and leaves only rented movies stored.

Pain in the ass...

But likewise, if AppleTV ever goes to a 1080p standard, I too will upgrade. Although I doubt they will. The file size for 1080p movies would be astronomical. Imagine 10GB TV shows or 20GB movie rentals.... It's just not THAT practical unless you have NAS.
