Yes I get that Apple TV is basically a special tuner that gets internet content and interfaces Apple i-Applications running on a local Mac. I have not researched enough to know if local/world news and live sports (MLB/NFL/Speed/etc...) are available feed over internet w/Apple TV. And the movies and TV shows you pay for - how long do you have access after releasing your $?

With newer TV's having built-in WiFi and applications what exactly does Apple TV bring to the game?
