It plugs right into the TV via optical cable, which is simple, straight forward, and mostly bullet proof. The hostility displayed by the media companies towards their own, paying customers is so appalling I can't wait for a digitally native upstart to ELE them into the history books. Worst of all, the receiver would keep throwing up false HDCP (high definition copy protection) warnings, which locked me out of viewing anything. Automatic never worked, so I would often get sound for the menus but none for the films, and had to dig through their terrible cross bar settings interface to try and find which magic PCM/Bitstream/whatever combination would work, and it was invariably different for each disc.

I also used to have a 7.1 surround sound system but it was a pain to wire in my open, octagonal living room, few titles supported 7.1, and worst of all, I kept having to change the settings on the PS3 to try to get audio to come out. (I don't know if they've since added an "expert mode" where I can just tell it specifically what I want to do, but if not, it'll remain mostly dead to me.) I use it very rarely now, mainly in "device" mode to control just the TV or just the Apple TV if I can't find their stand alone remotes. Mainly, it wouldn't let me line-item edit the setups, so it was forever doing slightly incorrect, completely maddening things. I set it up years ago using the horrible Java app for Mac, which was gross, and it never fit how I actually use my system. I have a Harmony One remote, which I dislike.

The Xbox never gelled for me, and the PS3 was my Blu-Ray player but even though the quality was superb, I became increasingly frustrated with Blu-Ray's model of slow content delivery, obnoxious ads and trailers, janky DRM implementations, and the damn thing's desire to update - onerously - every time I turned it on. I used to have an Xbox 360 and PS3 as well, but I gave them away to family members a year ago or so.
(Though Bell has done everything they can to ruin the CTV app as of late, including removing functional AirPlay.) There's also podcasts, of course, which is filled with great things to both watch and listen to, and having the sound come from the TV is, somehow, much less distracting than having it come from my MacBook. There's no HBO or Hulu in Canada yet, but I have apps on iPad for my local TV networks - CTV, CBC, Global, and CityTV - which let me watch current shows and specials in near real time. While the Netflix content is nowhere nearly as good in Canada as the U.S., for $8 a month it still has tons of catalog content. The Apple TV is still my preferred Netflix interface as well, it's just clean and simple.
There's no 802.11ac Apple TV yet, but even if there was, I prefer hardline for anything video related. Not only does that provide a second level of backup for my Macs, it connects to my Apple TV. I have an Apple 802.11ac Time Capsule connected to my internet modem.
