Talk to me about Apple TV

Re: Talk to me about Apple TV

  • It lets you rent and buy movies, watch TV shows, YouTube videos, Potcasts, Music and Photos.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • It's a media center device - it's basically an underpowered computer made just for watching your movies and TV shows and listening to music.

    We considered getting one but instead opted for a Mac Mini - more storage, better processor, a DVD drive so we can rip all our movies (we have it hooked up to a 2 TB external hard drive), and since it's a regular computer, we don't have to hack it to use services like Hulu Desktop or Boxee (we got rid of cable and watch all our TV online).

  • It allows you to get all of your media onto your tv.  We have kind of an odd setup, we have a very old mac mini, that's hooked up to 2 TB of external hard drives, and we have all of our music, and our dvds (we ripped them with a piece of software called handbrake) which serves as our server.  From there we have 2 ATVs, one hooked up in the family room, and also into our stero system, and the other one hooked up in the master bedroom.  The Apple TV streams the media from the computer onto the tvs.  What's nice is that I can be watching a movie or listening to music in the bedroom, while someone is watching a movie in the family room.  You can also use the iphones as a remote, which is kind of neat.
