Yes Apple TV comes with Netflix and about 30 other apps pre-loaded==more than Roku last time I checked. In addition, with Apple TV you can mirror anything from your Ipad onto the TV.. It's awesome! (I tried Google ChromeCast to do the same but it didn't work as well for me)

I use my IPad and Slingbox with Apple TV to let us see whatever we want by connecting to the FIOS Box we have at our Mass. house. So for the cost of a couple hundred dollars of hardware, we've got "full" FIOS TV at the Lake. Since we already pay for FIOS TV at home, we get to watch everything at the Lake for "free"! No Cable TV!

I heartily recommend the Slingbox/Apple TV combo to anyone who has a second home.
