I'm late to the party but I'll chime in and say that I also love my ATV. I currently have over 2800 tv episodes and over 550 movies available to it in addition to my music and photos. My biggest challenge is storage. My first 1tb drive is full and the second is filling quickly.
beerman, I strongly suggest you initiate some kind of backup procedure. I'm using a Mac Mini with EyeTV and have a large number of recordings. Not long after I started building my collection my external hard drive died. I got a free replacement for the drive but the movies were gone forever. So I bought a second drive. After a short time I realized that doing complete backups was very time consuming so now I make two copies of each recording and put one on each drive. That works for me; maybe you can come up with a better plan.
