Can't bust the US market, the cable companies won't allow it.
It'd be funny if the Apple TV took off outside the US. After all, the US is LESS than 50% of Apple's revenue source, so it needs to focus more on non-US customers.
Oh, the Swedes have all sorts of fun with dodgy innuendo when they give English names to things. It gets much worse than that.
Do tell. :p
Really?
