I recently upgraded to a 1080p LCD and am wondering what my options are for skipping upgrading to HD or Blu Ray and going right to streaming video from my network. Is there something as easy to use as an Apple TV? I'm assuming it's possible to stream movies from a network drive to the Apple TV as long as they are kept in iTunes, is that true? Does it make sense to wait for an Apple TV that will output 1080p? My cable box says it is 780p and looks pretty amazing. And finally, does this even make sense? I'm not going to get as good a picture from any kind of rip of a standard DVD compared to rip from an HD or Blu Ray disk am I?

Thanks for the info, this is a great thread.
