We even experimented with ATV only, but my we missed some of the local live broadcasts on ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC. I also like the NFL Sunday Ticket, so begrudgingly, we signed back up with DirecTV again, but downsize to the basic Family Package w/HD for 29.99, plus 10.00 for HD, plus 5.00 lease for each HD Set Top box, plus taxes, plus other fees. :-). Great to see Apple getting into this. I was an early adopter of ATV and now have 2, and probably will add another couple soon.

I presume you'd get all CBS & ABC content straight after they air, without commercials, for a monthly fee. I'd prefer a smaller fee with a couple (VERY FEW) of commercials customised just to me.

They've actually shrunk is presence. I suspect this is a precursor to the iTablet and an AppleTV re-design. Maybe the Airtunes can be re-fit to simply get a video signal from the iTablet? I don't know, but they're moving into the living room with force in 2010 and the absence of a living room / television device in their 5th ave flagship store points to something clearly on its way....

Now the real advantage to me would be the lack of commercials or the need to schedule recordings, but not having access to live sports would probably kill it.
