[QUOTE="Kash, post: 356883, member: 23444"] To be honest, no, there's really nothing special about an AppleTV that you couldn't manage on your own with a computer. The AppleTV is essentially a glorified "cable" that streams video from computers around your house to your TV. The AppleTV runs on a slightly modified version of Front Row. So you wouldn't really be missing much on the user interface aspect of the AppleTV. It also comes with the exact same white remote as most Macs. I suggest connecting your iMac to the TV and then using Front Row. You'll not only save money, but also any hassles from streaming video over a wireless connection. [/QUOTE]
