[quote Ombligo]MAVIC - For someone who is not interested in the AppleTV, you seem to spend an inordinate amount of time complaining about it.
I'm not thrilled about the unit either but my criticisms (as well as others here) are at least constructive in our statements. I'm glad your thrilled with your Windows MCE, so be content and ignore the AppleTV until it serves your needs.
This thread's subject is about the AppleTV movie rentals. Well, those movie rentals are also available for machines that run iTunes. Some people seem to think the movie rentals success is dependent upon the AppleTV, which is not the case. It's somewhat like saying the iTMS was dependent upon the iPod.
I'm a bit confused by your first statement. People who find the AppleTV fits their every need are probably not going to be complaining about it. The reasons the AppleTV is not an option for me - or the vast majority of consumers - are complaints. That's just the way it works. It's like the phrase "why is something you're searching for always in the last place you look?" Because no one in their right mind keeps looking after the found it. Why is it the people who don't like something complain about it? Because the people who do like it don't have problems with it.
I've pointed out numerous possible reasons for the AppleTV, as well as other reasons why the movie rentals success is not tied to the AppleTV... somehow you seem to have missed those. Those comments most certainly are constructive.
