Apple and Google been trying to get the content for years. Even with their deep pockets, no deals. Think the biggest obstacle is cable television companies are also the internet providers. Would make their cable television service obsolete. Apple TV is not bad, no Netflix in a foreign land, however, all Itunes content is available. No copyright problems when used in a foreign country with an USA account. Have to make sure the device was setup in the USA. Slingbox is still the hot ticket in my view. Can airplay slingplayer from an IPad to HDTV.
What the hell did we all do before the Internet?
