Apple TV..Is it any good?

Joel's dad · 20-08-2009, 11:40

I think, I like this, and would like to know from the people who already have it, what their experiences are, good and bad!

Is it worth buying??

Many thanks

It could definitely be better, but if you have the content for it and don't expect it to be some sort of wonder device it definitely has it's uses. I use mine every day.

Only worthwhile with Boxee on it. Far too little content on the iTunes store to justify otherwise.

I love it, but not necessarily for the reasons it was designed for. I don't use the store on it, rent or buy films/tv from it. Basically I've converted my entire DVD collection, stored it on a mac mini/remote hard drives and stream it to Apple TV over WiFi.

Works brilliantly for that!

Love it
easy to use
great idea

watch trailers, buy movies, rent movies

Shame apple havent done more with it, Its basically an ipple ipod for your tv. If you not going to hack it or use it stream itunes etc from you pc, you would be better off buying an ipod touch and tv docking pod, as that will do the same, with alot more options.

Looks like the TV service will be revamped with cut price boxes in the US first!
