I have a 40GB AppleTV and I seriously love the freaking thing. Everyone is here talking about alternatives but your post is asking whether you should get an AppleTV or not, not what you should get in general.

So I say get an AppleTV. Mine's hacked, of course, so I torrent stuff on my friend's server, sftp it directly onto the AppleTV and then watch it on the big screen. No it's not 1080p but then again that's what Bluray is for, right? For watching flicks on a whim and not caring so horribly how perfect it looks, the AppleTV is absolutely perfect.

Another huge advantage is its size. It's impossibly small which means you can move it from room to room effortlessly, just an HDMI cable and it's up and running. Plus you can program your regular remote to control it so our cable box remote controls the cable, DVR, tv and AppleTV - not bad imo.

So yeah, go for it. I think you'll be glad you did.
