Yes, I know that. The Apple TV and Xbox 360 are two totally different devices with different purposes. I'll take the Apple TV over the 360 for media viewing any day.
What do you need a second Apple TV for if your dad already has? You will also need a HD TV or will you connect the Apple TV to a monitor. If so, would that not defeat the entire point since you could just use a Mac to do pretty much the same.
Thank you, adio1213. Like me, you get the real point behind the Apple TV: to detach yourself from your computer and enjoy the content on your TV, not to mention with surround sound.
what is ethernet and do you need a cable for it ? and does the apple tv NEED wireless internet? or is that just an option if you want to go on? also how many cables do you need for it?
no. but with programs on your computer you can rip the DVD (or bluray if you have drive that supposes it) and then put it on your itunes =P (altho you will lose massive quality so it isn't really worth it) also you can buy and rent HD movies with the apple tv via itunes...
I love my Apple TV, great for watching podcasts on my plasma screen, especially as there are loads of 720p hi def podcasts now, plus movie trailers and youtube and all of my favorite music vids, loves it
Apple TV reminds me a lot of the Mac mini casing, or at least the last generation since I have a feeling the new Mac mini will have a new design. Can't wait until tomorrow for the keynote! :D
Apple tv is like using iTunes on your tv. You can stream whatever you have in your iTunes library and even watch RUclips videos if you have WiFi or if you plug it into ethernet.
Nice. I got one too! I will do a video giving some of my thoughts. Good warning on the cable. I think this is one of Apple's most not-talked-about awesome products.
Yes but do you really want to lug around a macbook, grab a video and audio cable turn your tv around and plug in the cords? Plus not all macs support hdmi out of the box. Yes! I know you can buy an adapter.
wow thanks for the tip i never knew it didnt come with a display cable... the box looks a lot like the old ipod boxes (like the ipod nano 1st generation box) :P well like u sed its basically an ipod for ur tv
i kinda do this stuff with my ps3 since it supports media severs and it has a 320 gb hard drive cuz i changed it myself with a laptop harddrive and it has wifi and blue-ray and i can record live tv on my ps3 but i had to download an app off of ps store but yeah
Yeah, but apple is still hesitant on bluray. Don't know why. But the apple way of thinking is if you have a lot fo content on itunes movies/music then it is worth it. But me personally until I can download full dvd images of itunes it is not worth it on itunes. I am into special features to much I got to have my dvds.
That really interesting. Thanks to be honest to me the way Americans do things make so much more sense to me because it is generally easier, take your automatic cars for example..
I personally love Apple products but I can't see the regular consumer buying this. I find it more attracts those who need the "premium" versions of everything.............. I WANT IT!! oh, and BTW-you're right, you can never have too many apple stickers :)
Ok... Isnt this bit pointless? Wouldnt it be cheaper & better to purchase a hdmi cable to connect your laptop to your tv & have your itunes plus other things?...
jthebrownboy i agree 100%. apple tv is over kill in my opinion. just rig ur tv to ur imac or macbook via cable and uve got a cheaper solution that provides the same result
So... Apple TV..... is a tv that you plug in your tv? I thought it'd be like a little iPod like thingy and you could buy stuff on iTunes like Music Videos and Shows... oWo;
That's how every company is. Technology is always evolving. No matter what you do, there will always be a better product right around the corner.
Yes, I know that. The Apple TV and Xbox 360 are two totally different devices with different purposes. I'll take the Apple TV over the 360 for media viewing any day.
How do you like it so far? They are coming out with a new one, really good deal, so I'm really thinking about getting one!
What do you need a second Apple TV for if your dad already has? You will also need a HD TV or will you connect the Apple TV to a monitor. If so, would that not defeat the entire point since you could just use a Mac to do pretty much the same.
Circuit City doesn't even exist anymore.
Thank you, adio1213. Like me, you get the real point behind the Apple TV: to detach yourself from your computer and enjoy the content on your TV, not to mention with surround sound.
If Apple made the iTurd, would you buy it?
Also, good video. I think the Mac mini is a lot better for media, though.
what is ethernet and do you need a cable for it ? and does the apple tv NEED wireless internet? or is that just an option if you want to go on?
also how many cables do you need for it?
It takes all of your media from itunes, movies tv shows other videos music and subscriptions and keeps them in one central place to watch on your TV
circuit city was awesome. it would be especially great now with all the new gadgets
no. but with programs on your computer you can rip the DVD (or bluray if you have drive that supposes it) and then put it on your itunes =P (altho you will lose massive quality so it isn't really worth it) also you can buy and rent HD movies with the apple tv
via itunes...
On the macbooks. You know, like every other laptop out there?
Great unboxing vid Dave...looking forward to more
I love my Apple TV, great for watching podcasts on my plasma screen,
especially as there are loads of 720p hi def podcasts now, plus movie trailers and youtube and all of my favorite music vids,
loves it
The Apple Remote also comes with MacBooks and the Mac mini, not just iMac.
Waited a while for the video, thanks! :D
And you SHOULD do another video of it. You find ways to make things interesting.
could you do a unboxing review of the new iPad
how long did it take you to get your cable?
what is the memory size?
can I sync movies from my library to the apple tv and watch it?
can i hook this up too my old tv but buy a componet thingy??
Apple TV reminds me a lot of the Mac mini casing, or at least the last generation since I have a feeling the new Mac mini will have a new design. Can't wait until tomorrow for the keynote! :D
Apple tv is like using iTunes on your tv. You can stream whatever you have in your iTunes library and even watch RUclips videos if you have WiFi or if you plug it into ethernet.
Surely you dont get any sound through DVi?
so apple tv is basicly a hard drive you can hook up to your TV?
I bought a similar cable through amazon so I could use my mac mini g4 on my HDTV, and paid about $3.00 for it, and it works fantastic!
Are these worth the price? It seems to be just a plug in ipod for your T.V....
And if they make a Mac with built-in TV decoder?
That remote also comes with mac mini
do you get full internet axess with the apple tv
shud I get it?????Will it work on a standard TV?
can you play shows the just aired with that?
Nice. I got one too! I will do a video giving some of my thoughts. Good warning on the cable. I think this is one of Apple's most not-talked-about awesome products.
Apple TV changed a lot and ur the first person I've seen to review this nice bro
Yes but do you really want to lug around a macbook, grab a video and audio cable turn your tv around and plug in the cords? Plus not all macs support hdmi out of the box. Yes! I know you can buy an adapter.
can u watch cable tv using this?
great video dave! apple tv looks awesome!!!
Great Videos! Can't wait to get my first Mac.
do they sell them in the uk? How much if they do
i dont see how its expensive the a bluray player!!! the future! and a gaming machine all in one.
Can someone tell me what does Apple TV and why do u need it
That thing what you call ''Apple TV'' we already have that in The Netherlands, for over like 7 years..
how is this done ?
Will you be doing a review?
:D
the box looks amazing
Is it fingerprint-magnetic?
wow thanks for the tip i never knew it didnt come with a display cable... the box looks a lot like the old ipod boxes (like the ipod nano 1st generation box) :P well like u sed its basically an ipod for ur tv
no you cant the files from i tunes are like a locked file and you cant play them on xbox if your trying to do so with an i pod
Here in Germany, it retails for $350 but I know in the states its cheaper.
Well, you can stream movies and music to your computer using the apple tv, that is the point.
what size is it
whats the whole point of the apple tv
i kinda do this stuff with my ps3 since it supports media severs and it has a 320 gb hard drive cuz i changed it myself with a laptop harddrive and it has wifi and blue-ray and i can record live tv on my ps3 but i had to download an app off of ps store but yeah
My MacBook came with an Apple Remote included.
Apple website says that the new MacBooks don't come with one.
Can u make avid of you doing every thing possiblecwith it like buying something and pluging it into the computer and so on
Why dont hack it with some codecs and overclocking
Why not get an xbox 360 instead?
Yeah, but apple is still hesitant on bluray. Don't know why. But the apple way of thinking is if you have a lot fo content on itunes movies/music then it is worth it. But me personally until I can download full dvd images of itunes it is not worth it on itunes. I am into special features to much I got to have my dvds.
can u play games on it ?
i got an apple tv for christmas too , its fantastic and the people who say otherwise have not tried one
hey tc1 do a new tour of your room becasue i love your room and it must have chaned with all the new stufe u got.
I have a biscuit tin that looks very similiar
No standard definition component? That's disappointing. Microsoft's Xbox 360 seems to still be the only product that supports both perfectly.
do you hav straight connection to steve Jobs
USB 4 support??
You can put it to sleep from the main menu.
lovw watching your old vids fp :)
can i watch tv on it?
Thanks for the review, in the Netherlands it's not that great. But I bet in the USA would be great. So thanks for the video.
you must be really fortunate that ur family is spoiling u with all this stuff (in a good way, im not dissing u im jealous)
That really interesting. Thanks to be honest to me the way Americans do things make so much more sense to me because it is generally easier, take your automatic cars for example..
how much
I've used it many times already. Far from useless.
Circuit City closed later on in 2009 :(
Great unboxing video.
I personally love Apple products but I can't see the regular consumer buying this. I find it more attracts those who need the "premium" versions of everything.............. I WANT IT!!
oh, and BTW-you're right, you can never have too many apple stickers :)
Ok... Isnt this bit pointless?
Wouldnt it be cheaper & better to purchase a hdmi cable to connect your laptop to your tv & have your itunes plus other things?...
Yeah thats true cuz like Halo 3 and Gears 2 were not the most anticipated games of all time!
he already has a ps3 to. but i guess he wants it to transfer stuff from his itunes. plus hes an apple guru.
sweet. I wouldn't mind having one of those :D
jthebrownboy i agree 100%.
apple tv is over kill in my opinion. just rig ur tv to ur imac or macbook via cable and uve got a cheaper solution that provides the same result
Great! Congrats!
160GB HDD is a bit small for movie storage :/
looks kinda like an mac mini

you must of had a great christmas with all those apple products
nice he said there was some lag with the camara but i saw none
we dont need a third ground pin..our power grids actually work how they are supposed too ;]
@pofrani Theres that, but telling someone about Google is also a preventative measure against future questions :-P
damn there's no SD a/v out. :(
Sweet video Hope to see a product review :)
So...
Apple TV..... is a tv that you plug in your tv?
I thought it'd be like a little iPod like thingy and you could buy stuff on iTunes like Music Videos and Shows... oWo;

At 4:53 he says: whatithith is. Or at least it sounds like that.....
