"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 :)"
"Bit of a shame really, but at least it's all over now.
So, is that whole payola-to-support-my-format thing indicative of how the entertainment industry as a whole is run?"
