As for the time delay for access to the show, my guess is that, at least for very popular shows, the producers want to gain the most ad revenue for the live showing of the material on traditional television networks. Plus, how do you decide when a show is complete (or even when it has started)? When it has shown on the east coast, or when it has shown in the last timezone in the west coast? The next day sounds reasonable to me - that's the earliest that I usually watch DVRed shows anyway.
As it is, there are shows on Hulu that delay showing for a week (House is one). The next day is a big improvement over that.
I agree with your comment on the AppleTV.
Anyway, I'll believe this deal when it's announced. This is too rumor-ish to me.
