Default Apple TV

Who has Apple TV? Considering getting it since Netflix rarely streams movies I want to see, and I hate waiting for DVDs. Thoughts?

We have 2 (1 for each TV). They're the older versions with the HD built into them. I really like the Apple TV for convenience, and I've managed to snag a few good priced movies as well. Sometimes the selection isn't the best, and sometimes you wind p having to wait a little longer to rent rather than buy, but I consider it a decent tradeoff for the convenience and not having to worry about late fees.

I have the newer model, with no HD...works beautifully! We use it for Netflix (awesome interface) as well as streaming MP4's from our Mac in the office. With us both having iPhones, lets us use Airplay to stream music and video from our phones directly to the Apple TV, which has turned out useful. Good selection of Pay-Per-View stuff as well, and YouTube functionality as well (which we don't use since we get that on our iPhones natively). For $99, can't go wrong!
