I would like apple TV to have:
- Blu-ray disc player
- I don’t care for ATSC/QAM or any other tuner, but Apple TV should have hdmi input and should able to control my DVR/Receiver like sling box.
- Apple TV should able to record in H.264 format for iPhone/ipod and stream the content over wi-fi network and over the Internet on iPhone so no need for sling box.
- Apple TV should be main computer holding all my libraries of Videos/Songs not the other way around and work like a NAS server.
- Full Safari browser and support for (optional) keyboard.
- Various new and improved options for Internet video.
- Support for using the iPhone or the iPod touch as smart remotes
Later on in Apple TV 4.0 may be if they can add on Gaming capabilities and DVR for both cable and dish they will be nirvana. Just one small piece in my entertainment and one 60″ LCD TV.
For now I want live TV on iPhone 3g.
