Why? Because much of this is software based (at least Joost is). A few months ago I won an AppleTV. It was nice for watching my Lost episodes, but when un-used for the most part. Then along came YouTube on my AppleTV and I've spend several evenings going through video after related video. It was pure "ahh": longtail content, control over what I see, and in a "lean back" environment. Once Joost is on my AppleTV (which has been hacked already), game over for me. And it will happen -- because it's software powering this wave of IPTV. Not a card in the back of a computer. Andrew, I disagree. Why? Because much of this is software based (at least Joost is).
