Plus the ability to download any episode is a plus. If I want to try out a show I can download the first episode instead of starting in the middle of the season. And for shows like South Park. I end up paying to watch them on cable and then I pay again to buy the physical copies. I would only have to pay once with Apple TV.
I think after the hockey season I will be scaling my cable subscription back a lot. I might keep basic cable and give the Apple TV a shot. If Shaw allowed me to have only the HD channels and not pay for everything else underneath I would buy an Apple TV right now.

The Apple TV is awesome if you're not in need of sports. Beyond that I find it to be an essential device. Why would I pay for cable when I can buy the show commercial free, keep it on my computer and push it to my mobile devices? Throw in the price of renting or buying a DVR and you're well ahead of the game. That isn't even touching on the awesomeness of digitizing your dvd collection and having everything a button press away.
