AppleTV can only playback content already recorded (and then tediously transcoded if it wasn't recorded in a supported codec, and HDTV is not broadcasted OTA in a supported codec). So, AppleTV clearly can't compete as a DVR. It is still mostly for iTunes content with EyeTV playback as a bonus. At least now there are rentals and content from lots of studios. </div></body></html>
