Works OK if you have 7 mb/s internet or better

With Apple TV, I get the impression that the biggest limiting factor isn't the pipe, but Apple's servers. I have had HD movies require anywhere from 2-7 hours to download, while SD generally takes about an hour. Either way, you can begin watching after 2% has downloaded, but I prefer to wait in order to ensure 100% glitch free viewing.

These aren't 30-50 gigabyte downloads because they're compressed and lack additional languages, features, etc. Quality-wise, they're not as good as the best B-Ds, but they're competitive with middle-of-the-pack ones, of which there are plenty.
