    I love my Apple TV! Just bought a second one refurbished, too.

    I find it’s able to stream media wirelessly over my network much, much better than my 360 or PS3, both of which stutter endlessly over WiFi.

    I share my entire library using iTunes, and it’s perfect. Browsing media works great (unlike the clunky PS3/360 interface) and I never have a problem playing media, since I format everything for Apple TV from the get-go.

    Yes, it’s a little sleazy how Apple integrates the store into every menu, but who cares? I share 2 TB of my own video (I ripped every television show on DVD I own, and lots of movies) to two different Apple TVs and it works great.
