 | | | Re: HDMI and no sound ports? at least put in RCA + optical ports This story is really bogus. First off, AppleTV is already 1080p compatible. If you use Apple TV to view photos on your HD TV they are sent at 1080p. The video content isn't 1080p but the AppleTV uprez it. I find it hard to beleive you are going to get 1080p out of cloud computing. Even Netflix has issues getting content from the studios. It also would screw Apple users who have content on there computers. The Airport Express is an example of wireless transmission of music which has never really taken off. Not to mention, the ISP are killing people with bandwidth caps. I love Apple and I like AppleTV in concept. I just wish they would get over the storage issue and allow looping. | |

On one hand, I absolutely understand that someone such yourself, who really cares about quality, would have these concerns.
On the other hand, it doesn't matter in the slightest to the average consumer. One cable going from the AppleTV to their midrange receiver for high-def video and digital audio, and that is all they need.
One product can't be all things to all people, and Apple has done a very good job (as evidenced by their success) in making products that appeal to a broad range of consumers.

"It's limiting, but it's ok, because average people don't care."
It's not.
What if I have a ghetto receiver with no HDMI but want an appletv?
What if I have a set of computer speakers I want to use instead of my TV's?
What if I want to hook it into a mixer to use it in a studio lobby where there are already a bunch of mackies everywhere but no receivers with HDMI?
Lame move, Apple. Lame move.
Of course I'm sure most of the HD content I can buy from Apple will be limited to playing on these kinds of devices so even if I want to legitimately enjoy it the way I'm used to, I'm stuck to piracy. So lame.

| Re: 2 Ports - Video Out & Power I personally hate using WiFi for anything other than my lower-bandwidth devices like my laptop for browsing the net. Doing large file transfers over Wifi is a pain (especially when one is used to gigabit speeds 80-90MB/sec)
My PS3 = Gigabit Ethernet. Apple TV = Ethernet. Wii = I need to order a USB-Ethernet adapter because for some reason it won't connect to either of my Wifi routers properly anymore, and my iPhone/iPod Touches suddenly stopped working with my WPA2 Router, so I've had to setup a second one using WEP, which is isolated from my main network.
Wired is just so much more reliable for me, No security needed, No mixed encryption methods that work on some things and not others, No keys to remember, Just plug and go. Nothing more to say.  Plus I don't mind the cables, they don't bother me.

1 edit | Re: 2 Ports - Video Out & Power *chuckles* Agreed! Getting dropped from any games pissed me off more than any cable ever could. I have a primary 8port Netgear Gigabit Switch in the basement, with a single cord running up to a gigabit Switch in the living room where my Yamaha RXV3900, PS3, Wii, and Bell Satellite Receiever plug into (and soon to be Wii), there's no congestion using the one cable connecting the 2 gigabit Switches together as everything other than the PS3 is 100mbit, and I never use all of them at once, Just needed more ports without running more cables.
The 8 port Netgear though is connected to a Soekris Net5501 Box running M0n0wall which is my router for the whole house that shares my ADSL. Been extremely reliable for me for the past year, and before that just had it running on an old P42.4 ghz box for about 2-3 years, though that used 8x more power.
I still just don't trust Wifi for all my stuff, even with the best encryption I feel a lot more safer (and speedier) using wired unless absolutely necessary.

Jewett City, CT | Micro-HDMI is also a standard based on HDMI 1.4 spec.
Where do you draw the line? Composite? S-Video? VGA? DVI? Maybe an RF modulator?
Personally I would prefer DisplayPort with a bundled HDMI adapter since it has some advanced features missing in HDMI (video input, display daisy chaining, higher maximum resolution, more flexibility in cabling via copper or optical, better backwards compatibility) Doesn't really matter that much though -- it's just a connector. | |

Seems to be it's just another Apple toy designed to suck the money out of unsuspecting victims. Have you ever used an AppleTV? There is no "monthly charge" for streaming your stuff from iTunes to it. You only pay for movies you rent from the device or anything you buy off of the iTunes store from the device. Jeez.
I don't see how a RUMOR like this made the front page.
And I imagine it's probably about 180 degrees wrong on account of the size and connectors on the device. The next generation will probably look a lot like the current generation but perhaps come in black to blend into the stereo cabinet better and will contain some modernized hardware and newer (maybe iphone like) software.

Jewett City, CT | The current Apple TV works exactly as originally promised/advertised and got 2 major software revisions and a bunch of minor fixes. Considering it launched 3 years ago that's a pretty good life span of support. Apple has made no secret they're still trying to figure out where to take the ATV. It's still an emerging market greatly limited by typical residential broadband speeds. They also need to do more work on the content/subscriptions deals to hit a bigger audience. Distributing content via apps is probably a step in the right direction. This will spur a lot more competition as we see on the iPad with apps like Netflix & ABC player competing with iTunes. | |

Loveland, CO | Where are the options? You have WD TV Live, Boxee, or Popbox. (Not sure if the last two are out yet) These three boxes feature wise are just flat out awesome. Will play about any codec/container you throw at them. Ethernet ports! Streaming true HD content even on 802.11g can be painful or impossible at times! With my WD TV Live I have the option to share files over the network/smb or via a DLNA server. I have a feeling the only option for this new Apple TV will be itunes or no networking streaming at all.
At first I thought wow an Apple product for under $100 bucks! But something tells me feature wise I will place the final value at $50 or under. What are the odds on .mkv container support? I'm guessing 1% chance. I would encourage Apple fans before you line up to buy this compare it to the WD TV Live, Boxee, or Popbox first. If this new Apple TV can compete feature wise I will pretty shocked with the $99 price tag. | |

WD TV does have ethernet (extra points) but no internal memory. I imagine (but can't tell yet) that the 16GB Apple memory will let you load movies in advance of watching. Perfect for in front of a treadmill, where you spend limited time, but want to be able to watch something.

If Apple has some really cheap but functionaliy crippled small device, it will be limited to viewing movies you buy from Itunes store.
The question is whether Apple would produce a fully featured entertainment centre with ability to play modern file formats (like .mkv) and ability to record programs from TV (aka: DVR function).

| Re: Don't make it small at the expense of functionality Hardware DRM may not be imposed by Apple, but Apple probably was forced to implement it for Itunes movies in HD because I can't play such movies. (but can play them on my laptop because the screen is intergrated).
And one needs to do tricks to see the error message because normally you just get a grey screen. (can't remember how I got to see the error message, but I did see it).
In september, when the TV networks air previews of their new season, they often make "free previews" available on Itunes, and many of them are available for free in HD and SD, and you can then try it. | |

1 edit | Then don't buy one. The iPad has sold a million units in record time, yet there are those who have one thing or another to conclude that it's crap. Now, the Apple TV.
Seems to me there's a niche for such a device. You have a library of ripped DVDs, and are planning to add a TV to a kid's room or guest room. Cable, at a cost, a DVD player and you'd have to burn DVDs or have bought them. Or this $100 device which can see that library on your Mac/PC.
This is the use I can imagine off the top of my head. I'm a Mac fan, yes, I love my iPad, but I also have a house full of TiVos, and the Apple TV might have been great before that last one was bought, but not as a purchase for me right now. | |
