I understand why you have chosen AppleTv. I haven't used it myself and
probably won't. My issue is the Apple juggernaut itself. To make their
products super reliable they allow no flexibility. You have to do it
their way, the Apple way. I like the flexibility offered by other
companies and systems. With that flexibility comes competition, and the
user has some input into the direction the technology will take. With
Apple you are a follower, a disciple, they dictate the future for you. 


I also agree that Squeezebox is a little buggy at times, especially
leading up to the release of LMS. However it is flexible for the user
and programmer. That is the issue, if you want flexibility in a system,
to allow anybody to have an input i.e. programming, the reliability of
the system will slip. For Squeezebox to be as reliable as Apple systems
then it would have to be closed source software managed by a core group
of people with limited input from the masses. 

You can have any colour you like as long as it is white, bright white,
with subdued grey text.... Personally I like all colours.
