Just to provide a counter-anecdote... I love my Revue. We don't have cable, and all of our content comes from either Netflix, Pandora or from a media server on my network. The fact that it has a browser was actually a deciding factor in getting a Revue rather than an Apple TV box. I'm also a big fan of the keyboard-remote. It nice having unified control of every device in my media chain (Revue, TV, and sound system) in one place, and it Just Works (TM). If I don't feel like reaching for the keyboard, my Android phone is also a very capable remote. My parents are in much the same boat, and own three Revues. I realize we're not the common use case, but Google TV meets our needs very well. Perhaps 'niche product' would be a better description than 'piece of junk.'
