Of course, if you don't like Apple/Mac, you can also go with Google. Not sure of their release date in the US (Android TV was released in Sweden), but it's rumored to be before the Christmas season to compete with Apple.

On line with the boxee product lets not forget that the new Apple TV comes out in a couple weeks and looks super slick. Does all of it's apple magic for only $99 now. I still don't like Macs but I'll admit I like the iTunes bonjour mojo it does making things available around my house. AppleTV will play youtube and netflix and I'm suppose to be able to push photo slideshows from my iPhone to it when iOS 4.2 gets released. Call me a kool-aid drinker but that sounds pretty slick.

I got a note about this pre-sale from Amazon this morning. http://www.boxee.tv/box Would fit the bill for the Hulu / Netflix / YouTube viewers, I believe. I've installed the Boxee software app a couple times, and still prefer my MythTV interface for local shows. But, Boxee has a lot more stuff available than my MythTV setup.
