Barebones box with intel atom, a bit of ram, and a small HDD is cheaper and does all that, and you don't have to deal with sidestepping Apple's odd file format restrictions. Throw XBMC on there and you're done, for about $150.

Good luck updating it after Apple decides you won't.

Don't get me wrong. AppleTV is certainly a decent value, but it'll never do anything Tim Cook disapproves.
