Unfortunately, it’s very closed platform, however, some people have made it work for them without opening the box.

Apple really needs to allow developers to extend it. I would love to put Apollo client for Mixercast, run Joost, AMP etc.

Thanks for the link man, I just bought Apple TV so playing with it.

I still think AMP will be a nice choice to start integrating a broader solution to convenient one stop Video watching.

Bandwidth and storage are the biggest issues with higher quality videos. But as that is getting much closer to critical mass, I have faith Flash Player will expand to a high quality codec (maybe pushed by the Apollo Platform as well).
