I have a Roku (similar to AppleTV...but better
) and it's been great. Netflix, HuluPlus, and Amazon streamed video, plus a bunch of other channel applications that access various podcasts and news summaries (NPR, CNN, independent, fringe, etc, etc) as well as some up-and-coming internet tv stations like KoldCast.
I've cut my cable back to just internet, and now pay $17/mo for Netflix + HuluPlus instead. That's less than even the most basic cable package from TW, and much MUCH less than what I was paying before. Plus...we're enjoying it more.

If you have Netflix...you can use the wii to stream Netflix videos. It used to require a wii program disc from Netflix, but now you can download the Netflix app (for free from the wii store) into the wii storage so you don't need the disc any more.
