My whole problem with all of these alternate devices is that none of them can replace my satellite box. My wife watches all kinds of stuff from DiY, Food Network, and I don't know what all else. We watch stuff from BBC America and SyFy as well as the normal networks, etc. A lot of that can be done with one of these by using stuff like Netflix, Hulu, and I don't know what else. Some of it I'm not sure you can get other than through cable or satellite. I don't want to have to comb the internet to find the shows that I or my wife want to watch on tv - I want to go to my tv, turn it on, change the channel, and there's my show. None of these things - AppleTV, GoogleTV, or Roku can do that yet to the best of my knowledge and thus cannot serve as a replacement and are, to me, a waste of money.

"Consensus: The process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values, and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects; the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved, merely because you cannot get agreement on the way ahead." -Margaret Thatcher
