I with people would stop regurgitating inaccuracies such as this. The Apple TV most certainly <em>does</em&... do "true" HD - anything upto 1080i in fact !
I have been enjoying watching downloaded 720p episodes of US shows, thanks to file sharing networks and Visual Hub to convert them to AppleTV format. It works great. As I type this, I'm just listening to the latest podcasts, played through the HiFi in the den with my AppleTV connected to a small flat-panel screen, and it's a superb experience.
If the AppleTV has a fault, it's just that (like many Apple products) it's ahead of it's time. I honestly think that the AppleTV could be the biggest long-term hit in Apple's product lineup. Even the iPod got off to a slow start, and I think in 2 or 3 years time people will regard the term "AppleTV" as synonymous with IPTV, just at they say iPod when they mean 'digital music player" today.
