Now that the Outlaws are offering the Vudu XL (that's $999 vs $229 for an Apple TV and the difference is - 1080p vs 720p?), they've added the digital media source I was asking about to their line up. The Vudu can be set up on a wireless network, which again begs the question, why aren't network functions designed into the 997? Perhaps the benefits would be minimal, for example automating firmware upgrades. Beyond USB wouldn't it be worthwhile to add an ethernet port?
