I can't give to much info yet because our Dish service won't be installed until Saturday, but the latest generation of Dish DVR boxes will give you complete control via the Dish iPhone app. If you have an iPhone or iPod touch that is. You can search for programs set recordings and even locate and start playback of programs which are stored on your dvr all from your I device. I will report more after Saturday if people are interested.

Just to expand on this,

DirectTV is a different type of thing. Apple TV lets you aggregate your digital media on to your TV where something like a DirecTV or Dish box grabs live content over the air or from space.

Wow, I would like more info on the tv; I am so behind the curve with the apple tv; I mean why would you want it and can it run with something like direct tv or is that just a ridiculously dumb question, :)

So the apple tv arrives via fedex today. I take it out of the box and yep, it looks cool, kind of space age like. I unwrapped it and then the remote. I decide oh well, what do these buttons on the remote do (curiosity killed the cat). Whala, press the button and my Mac mini fires up ITunes and starts playing the first song in the list. Does anyone have a list of how to functions for the remote? I haven't hooked up the TV yet because I don't have the handy dandy HDMI cable. Once I hook it up, get it running and play with it some, I'll pass along any learnings.
