it's still in the box and i'm wondering if it's pretty easy to set up. Thanks you.

1. It's insanely easy to set up.
But I can't say I thought it was worth it.

My biggest problem is having to reformat video (other than iTunes purchases) to AppleTV format.

3. It is "sort of.."
If you rip your own DVD's (using certain software) you can use closed captioning (subtitles). Anything bought from Apple lacks subtitles. I would say that you shouldn't bother with it right now. I would let Apple know about your needs. They are surprisingly good about taking care of things like this..
