Apple TV?

Howdy All,

What's with the five computer streaming limit in Apple TV (i.e. the  
fact that there is a limit on the number of computers that can be  
authorised to stream to the Apple TV)?

Perhaps it is just a UI thing (to keep it simple), but it does seem a  
little strange (and a little low)?  I don't see how it could be a DRM  
thing, but perhaps there is some revenue angle for Apple.

I also don't assume it is an Airport thing, unless they mean only  
five Macs can be connected to stream to the Apple TV at the same time?

Also with the included hard disk, synching with iTunes, and how it  
shows up in iTunes, I would say it is more like an iPod TV rather  
than an Apple TV (or iTV).

Cheers,
Ashley.
