Apple TV needs content owners to agree to license their content. It is patiently waiting. When {abc,cbs,nbc,espn,discovery,syfi,…} agrees to provide the shows, with commercials, for free over the internet the box is waiting. When they agree to sell commercial free feeds for some small dollar value per month the box is waiting. Imagine just buying the channels you want or watching commercial supported feeds for free. Tell you cable company to shove their bill. (The commercial supported model works. The network will get to sell the spots usually used for local commercials. This will more than cover the bandwidth bill.) But nothing happens until the content producers can make a decision. It's been years and most movie studios still won't accept revenue through iTunes. No breath holding.
