Lots of people like Popcorn Hour http://www.popcornhour.com/onlinestore/ but it, AppleTV and a computer all have different strengths and weaknesses.
Start with your MBP, since you already have it, and see where that takes you.
Agreed. I started out streaming Hulu and the various networks from an 07 Macbook and it worked great. A few months ago I replaced that with a Mac Mini. Its nice to have the versatility of a full computer, even though you'll end up spending more money. The mini will hold its value better than a hacked AppleTV and can be used in many more situations. Since they just refreshed the mini line there will be some nice units showing up at the refurb store.
