I don't think an iTV would catch on in nearly the same way as other iProducts have:
1) Price.
2) I don't think there's a huge interest in "smart TV". If there was, Tivo would already be dominating. Everyone would own a DVR.
3) I think iProducts sell well based partially on a "see and be seen with" mentality. Look at me! I have an iPad! Something that sits in your living room isn't going to have that appeal. Especially for friendless Apple misanthropes.
4) Dirty hippies already don't watch TV.
5) Apple lovers are mostly dirty hippies.
Of course, maybe Apple can revolutionize television in general. Maybe they can take their billions and just buy out various Hollywood production companies and put all that stuff out there for streaming "only on iTV". That might do it.
