The Apple TV box is really a stopgap solution from Apple until they can control the entire experience.
Think about it, Apple TV is input 2/3, maybe even 4. Is that an ideal experience? Probably not. But to wrestle control of the rest, Apple would have to build the entire TV.
Should the user have to deal with selecting inputs? Do we even need channels anymore? How do we get more functionality into a sit-back-and-enjoy experience? Should it be connected to the Internet? How could your TV integrate with all your other devices? What about a camera? Motion controls?
The TV industry is ripe for disruption. So many designs that haven't changed in forever because "that's how it's always been done."
