Apple TV is a Rip-Off of D-Link MediaLounge and all the others like Linksys, Belkin and Netgear .... soon Stevie Gods will announce another brilliant rip-off, er iNOvation "Apple iPTV"

Ps, Apple TV has been a flop.

Here's a hint to all IPTV/PayTV content providers: SOME OF US DON'T GIVE A FLYING F*K ABOUT THE SPORTS CHANNEL! Every other channel I browse at least once a week to catch a specific show, but I ALWAYS skip the sports channel. As far as I'm concerned, this is money wasted. I have God knows-how-many sports channel that I never watch - I'd gladly trade them for something else!

So how about providing two "basic" packages? One for the sports-nut and one for those of us who can live without those channels.

There will be no IPTV until the available bandwidth...

What I want is a box in the basement that takes the internet in and provides coax out to all my TVs. I don't want a separate box for each TV.
