A pre-loaded Apple TV is an interesting workaround. It would make sense in the long run only if there's a convenient way to periodically add new material. It's like getting an iPod with music on it, and the only music it will ever play is what came on it. No new photos, no new movies or TV shows, or music. Only what is "pre-loaded".
It is possible to update it, obviously, but it will require physically unplugging it, taking it to your house, and updating every few months, or a few times a year, it to include new content. And do the routine software updates.
If you don't mind running it back and forth in your car a few times a year, or bringing your laptop over and updating it manually, it sounds like a quirky but workable arrangement.
