In the Netherlands you pay ~€8-15 / month for all the TV channels that are available, so the AppleTV solution would never work here. There are less channels and US series are delayed (usually by a year or somewhere near that), but it's still a lot cheaper. We get BBC1 and 2 but no other UK channels. The AppleTV is much more expensive here, €270 ($400) and iTunes doesn't do any tv shows here yet, so it's not like we have a choice :). Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that the tv market really differs a lot between countries.
