cheers for the link.
The Sonas system is great even if it's a tad expensive and doesn't play DRM iTunes tracks. I noticed their Windows Media Player had Torrent software install  and it was interesting to hear them say the Apple TV was difficult to setup but was easy once it was all working.

I think their issue with AppleTV is how it worked with everything else they were using. The father says once they figured out where it fit in, it was easy. I think this is the real hurdle for AppleTV: explaining what it does. I've had the devil's own time try to explain it to folks who don't know much about computers or about Apple. To be honest, it took me a lot of reading on forums to get a real sense of its strengths myself, and now, I love it.

Right, it you are one of the silent majority who has never bought a video on iTunes, or watched a DVD on anything but a DVD player, what it does is not immediately obvious.

One other thing that's problematic is that it does not do static IPs - just DHCP exclusively.
Not a problem in many home networks, but a real problem anywhere with managed IP ranges - unless your router supports MAC-based static IP assignments via DHCP.
