Apple TV vs...

[fivepoint]

Which is something Apple needs to seriously stop doing. There is no reason to cripple the quality of their media for the 5th gen iPod.

The new movies are all now encoded using the new anamorphic spec. So should the TV shows.

Agreed. Or at least allow us to choose from 2-3 major quality levels. Besides the complexity that would add, I think another reason Apple is slow to move on these types of things... is that the Movie cartels are always dragging their feet on everything. They're trying to make sure Apple doesn't get a stranglehold on movies, like they do on music. Can't really blame them, although it seems that we, the consumers, are the people that loose out in the meantime.
