It has always amazed me that set-top boxes consume 15-45W (http://standby.lbl.gov/summary-table.html http://standby.lbl.gov/summary-table.html), even when idle, while Apple TV consumes just 2W when streaming HD content (http://images.apple.com/br/environment/reports/docs/AppleTV_Product_Environmental_Report_20110323.pdf http://images.apple.com/br/environment/reports/docs/AppleTV_...). And then we're not even talking about user experience -- most set-top boxes are dirt slow as well.
