    Well, if you're watching the newest releases, you're either going to have to download them illegally, or rent them. When you rent them, it's usually the same story regardless of where: you get a day or two to watch after starting the film (this isn't unique to Apple by any means). So, yeah, the Apple TV certainly allows for "stream on deamnd," just like your cable company, or Amazon.

    The Roku, while it doesn't have direct access to the iTunes store for movies and shows, I believe allows easier access to your computer library and MANY, MANY more viewing "channels" to choose from when compared to Apple TV. Another difference is that the Roku doesn't allow direct streaming from iOS devices that i know of.
