For anyone making a serious video distribution decision.

- Owners of Kaleidescape systems who are weighing whether to keep centralized distribution or simplify
- Households dropping cable who are not sure whether Apple TV alone covers their use case
- Second-home owners who want a clean, low-maintenance video system at a reasonable cost
