1 edit | Re: Do it right the first time First of all, most of these formats and uses are far beyond the scope of Apple's intended audience. The end game for this, in Apple's eyes, is to get people hooked on buying stuff through the iTunes store and playing it on the Apple TV, whenever that functionality may arise. (I'm talking about purchasing through the ATV unit directly)
The majority of the hacks we're seeing now, are using the Apple TV in ways Apple never intended. Apple doesn't shun this (that we know of, this may change...who knows) however, these uses are not their main focus. I mean, truthfully, the only reason I would pick this up is to playback recorded shows in .mkv that are 720p. I would _never_ purchase something from the Apple store to stream to the Apple TV. Then again, I'm not Apple's intended audience for this product. So there you go. |
