I run boxee on my apple tv!  I hope they get netflix streaming working for the apple tv at some point.

I believe that there was a review over several of these streaming 
servers (XBOX too) on one of the ip-tv programs on Revision 3 recently. 
I think the program was Systm. I think it has also been done on Tekzilla 
(same source) but is more mainstream oriented (M$/Apple).
