I don't mind paying for TV I like, but if I am going to be forced to "rent" shows I'd like to watch a few times, I'll just go buy DVD's then.
Are you really buying a lot of stuff through your Apple TV? What non-Apple TV-owners may not realize is that when you buy something through the Apple TV interface, you cannot move it to another device (like an iPod, iPhone, or other computer). If you have a computer in the house somewhere, it makes a ton more sense to buy the media through iTunes on the computer, and then either stream it or copy it to your Apple TV.
We rent stuff on the Apple TV (which allows us to start watching it before the download completes), but if we decide to buy something, we do it on the computer. That way we can transfer it around at our leisure. So for us, having the Apple TV do rentals only is not a big deal.
