I've even looking into getting a second device. Not sure i I'm going to get another Apple TV or something else. No device does everything I want it to yet. One day...

I handbrake my dvds to mp4s so I have a huge movie collection that I can easily access at any time. Also, me and my fiancee stream music and stream our pics on the tv.

My dad loves the radio stations. Other than that, if you have an xbox or ps3 you can do the same things just about.

ETA: I cut the cord about a year and a half ago. I researched a lot on what to buy and actually tried an AppleTV. It is crap compared to the WDTV. This post was edited on 12/9 at 9:25 pm
