Just another reason not to buy a Plasma TV. I should be surprised it hasn't been completely killed off yet, but the other promised TV technologies just haven't come forth. My choice would still always be LCD over Plasma though.

The AppleTV needs to be hacked to play a wide assortment of video. It would also need to be hacked to handle Ogg and Flac if that's something you care about. Streaming from iTunes and navigating your music library, regardless of how pretty it may look, isn't going to hold a candle to the options with a Squeezebox.

My suggestion is still to go with SB. Even use the new Squeezebox Boom in some rooms which can act as a speaker set for your video player. Put a universal remote in each room. The SB gear can be controlled by any universal remote, even the cheapy OneForAll variety. If you edit your IR files on the server it can actually be made to listen to any remote at all.
