I've got basically the same setup. If AppleTV has got an advantage, it's in packing all these things into a neat, tiny package with a clean and simple UI. Standard procedure for Apple really, and it has worked for them in the past. To me the question is whether they've let all these competing services catch on too much before throwing their hat back in. Virtually everyone who knows what AppleTV is/was is already aware of Hulu and Netflix. So they've got to do a really good job of improving the experience with these channels, or alternately target less tech-savvy people who aren't aware of these alternatives. In my experience, anyone who wasn't raised with game consoles does not want to deal with them when trying to watch movies. My father would sooner drop a couple hundred bucks on a redundant DVD player than have to learn what "sign in to xbox live" means, or remember that the green button means go and the red one means go back.
