I love my Apple TV but mainly because it makes using Plex and a couple of the other apps so easy. Plex with the Apple TV is simply an amazing experience. Also, because of the Apple TV, I've gone "legit" and bought a ton of stuff from iTunes because it's so convenient.
But most of the apps suck. I can't use any of the TV station apps like NBC, etc, without already having a cable subscription, which basically misses the point. I can't wait for DirectTV to come out with a streaming version, it just be good enough for me to switch to that permanently.

Apple's interests are probably aligned with yours on this.
