Anyone using AppleTV?

I'm considering it...

Currently we have a Direct TV subscription which (to me anyway) seems like pissing money away every month. I never watch (maybe a show a week, maybe a football game on Sunday this time of year, etc.) My wife likes a couple of shows but it seems stupid to be forking out almost $100 a month to get (realistically) less than five channels we tune in for a combined total of maybe 15 hours a month.

My understanding is that AppleTV is that it allows you to buy only the programs you want, when you want and you pay per show. Not bad. Anyone know about which programs/channels you can/can't get and generally speaking how well/poorly this thing works?

We're in an area which gets one over-the-air antenna station (in Spanish) so we have to retain some sort of "wired" or satellite-based service as a practical matter.
