jk1002:
This is, apple TV has a user interface that is geared towards buying content from the itunes store rather then presenting my own. That makes it essentially a piece of crap for me, not that I am saying BS5 will be much better. That remains to be seen.

May i suggest aTV flash plugin for AppleTv (http://www.atvflash.com/product_info.php?products_id=27)

Works perfectly and i can now add my own DivX movies via Ftp and browse the internet, furthermore add extern storage devices etc. What more do you need then in a 329 Dollars mediacenter?.

it is on macrumors as well. It would just extend the hard disk of apple tv. I can do that today with a normal NAS by installing a plug in.

Just read the article. Its never going to the 'the end' for B&O, only ever the begining. Hope Apple keep up the competition, its healthy for a better B&O product in the future.
