I received this as a gift and find it pretty useless outside of being able to go to utube. It is great for utube but for 230.00 product it is unjustifiable to keep it for that. renting movies online is not a bad feature but again it is a bit redundant if you already have a pc or laptop attached to your tv. also the fact they charge you to watch tv programs that are free from the networks was a bit appalling.
I recently purchased the 160GB Apple TV after Apple discontinued the 40GB model and lowered the 160GB to $229.99. I got a great deal on Amazon with a one day special; it was going for $199.99.
I have had the AppleTV for about a year now and am pretty happy with it. It does have some limitations which can be frustrating.
That's really a great product as everything from Apple The only problem is that you can't easily use it outside the US but if you are clever enough you can buy from different shops gift cards from online stores that they ship outside united states so you can make like I did:Register an account on itunes redeeming a gift card for Itunes store in USA so you can download films
At the time it first came out, these appleTV boxes were a fairly cost-effective proposition. They're still not bad, but more powerful, more open devices are available from netgear, mivix, popcorn hour, and others these days.
This is a complete waste of time. I can imagine the discussion at Apple when they were conceiving this product. "I've got it: how about we make a box that people will buy from us and the only thing they can do with it is use it to buy other stuff from us that they could otherwise get for free!" That's about it.
I am loving this product. It is like an ipod for your TV. You can browse movies, tv shows, music and You Tube all from your television.
I very respectfully submit that some of the otherwise excellent reviews here on Amazon have not emphasized what I believe to be the main point about the Apple TV accessory. That is the fact that the Apple TV can access movies, TV shows or other videos that are on the user's main computer hard disk without transferring the actual data file (e.g.
This is an easy to set up unit and does provide good entertainment options for your TV/SSR. The bigest drawback to me is its Apple only programming.
I have had this product for about 2 yrs and I love it. It is a slick interface but can be clunky at times - overall very simple to use. Basically this thing will take your TV and turn it into an Ipod. Downloading Music/Movies/Shows coudn't be easier.
