turly commented on Apple TV 2.0 Review

"@JOHN_NYC "f they made this thing into more of a network media player, specifically if it could play DIVX/VOB (and h.264) from an SMB share, I'd be all over it like white on rice." Sounds like you're looking for a Networked Media Tank such as the Popcorn Hour, which is claimed to handle > 40 Mbps H264 (with MKV support.) The current AppleTV can't handle more than 5 Mbps of H264 video - which is fine for live or nearly-live video over IP, but it's a bit underpowered if you want to watch your Blu-ray rips :)"
