TUAW says "Is the Apple TV being replaced?"

Just picked up the 40gig (waiting for it to be delivered). It is a refurb from apple.com. Only going to be using it as a music device. If something else comes down the line I will think about it, but I don't for see it being updated until next year. So until then I am hoping I will have something to play my music in my living room. (Replacing my Escient Fireball SE-80 since I no longer have a windows box in my house.)

Why would Tuesday have anything to do with the AppleTV? Are you expecting an AppleTV update before or after the flying monkeys magically appear from stage left?

My refurb ATV arrived last Monday and I'm happily using it now. If something new is announced this week then I'll box it back up and return it within the 14 days exchange period. I have my doubts that it will be replaced by a new model this week, even if it is there is no guarantee it can be hacked which right now is important to me.
 
I am trying to decide if I should go ATV / iTunes or Vista Media Centre. I like both, but ATV is that much more slicker and 'just works'. However whilst all of these rumors persist, one thing I found strange today is where is ATV on the apple.com website?

I mean, look under products, in fact the only place to find ATV is in the shop.

I am going to try ripping on my Oct MP first before deciding if ATV is the right choice. So hopefully there will be some updates as I am hearing about no 5.1 sound and maybe some other limitations. either way when I went to check the specs today, I couldn't find ATV.

Also, there is no ATV under the buyers guide here. Maybe it's not warranted, but it is an apple product, so why no mention?

It's under the iPod + iTunes tab on Apple.com
 
My bad, thanks for the pointer. Now to try the dvd ripping and read up more on ATV. Hopefully this will do what I want.

Thanks again.
