New Apple TV -- Anyone planning on it?

I pre-ordered and got mine a few days ago and I absolutely LOVE it! Sound quality as compared to my oppo se is better, only one problem-if your a 2channel person this is pretty much out for you. Im sure theres a way to get it done but Im getting 5.1 music as if all music is an sacd, which I LOVE! 720p to me looks better with apple tv than 1080i with my att uverse. I love this thing! im getting one for each tv in my house and thats 4!

UVerse and all the other 'HD' feeds are pretty lame. I've seen lots of HD movies which look no better than a good, upsampled DVD. I'll bet the data rates and compression are about equal, too.
Sports and News are exceptions and are usually very good HD feeds.

It's all a matter of bandwidth. 'Mo better.

If they turn it loose, the Verizon fiberoptic cable right to your door can potentially provide the best signal.

A full-on 720p, without compression and limiting, should be better than any of the so-called 1080 stuff which has been massively stepped on.

Banyon100, can you please clarify what you meant by "First impression is the sound is much better than the older version. More depth and detail.." Were you talking about the sound quality with music through a dedicated DAC in a high-end systems, or just sound quality in general through the built-in DAC when you watch movies?
