While I think the Apple TV is a great idea for a simple package to streamline someone\'s digital media, it is really for the folks who want simple and easy. I believe the Mac Mini is the better choice. I know you have to pay an additional $300, but think what you are getting. Throw in a wireless keyboard and mouse and you have a Mac in the living room that can browse the internet as well as everything the Apple TV can do. Not only that is you can play directly from a Mac on your network instead of streaming. Check out a review of the Apple TV vs. the Mac MiniHERE.
