I saw another very good comment on another board about this that I hadn't considered. How do you plan to connect your iTV to the net? DSL is horribly slow and wouldn't work, at least not at a reasonable speed. The only other big option besides the f…

If nothing else, this whole thing will make for some interesting census statistics Only Apple users would be this passionate about a device. Says much about their community and I respect both sides of the argument and see why the iTV will be good…
