Anyone with Apple TV experience?

[Eddie]

Is it worth it to get an Apple TV device? There are so many other kinds of devices already, and I already have a Mac, would I even need this contraption?

I have a soft spot for gadgets and Apple TV was kind of a bust imho. If youve already got a Mac, you dont need it. You can already output from your pc or laptop to your TV. Apple TV is if youre too lazy to connect your tower to your computer every time. I have friends whove got PCs permanately hooked to their TV and it acts exactly like Apple TV except you cant use it with iTunes, but if you download torrents, you can watch/listen to music and movies them just the same.
