Forget standard DVR model of "record what I want to watch when I'm not there so I can watch it later". Oh, and being able to fast forward through commercials is a must have feature.
Apple TV (or iTunes really) allows you pay for the content you want and watch it when and how you want without commercials.
I don't listen to the radio anymore because I buy the music I want or subscribe to the podcasts I want. I'm not forced to listen to something I don't want to. If I don't like it, I unsubscribe and/or delete. Simple.
I want the same for all my media and I'm perfectly willing to hand over a few buck to Apple (or anyone else) that will let me do it without getting in my way.
