Re: Love the retro Apple logoThat's funny I've got 2 sitting about 2' from me one with a System Saver ][GS the other with a Applied Engineering's version with a Disk tray and a 3.5" Drive in it. The other has 2 3.5" Drives on it. They have a whopping total of close to 1 GB of HD space LOL I Still have tons of floppy discs with old games and apps. Some I even wrote I also have another couple of rarities the CD Drives that would work on the IIGS Even an old Apple One Scanner Sorry OT but I had to add that | |

I actually still had mine until 2006, when a massive local flood swept it down river. | |

I still have my old Atari 800XL with a 1010 and a 1050 when I was a kid. Can't wait to fire it up for my kids, just need a few new power supplies.
Right now, I have an Atari 800XL with a 1010, a 1050, and now a XF551. I'm working on repairing an old C64 (keys missing) with working 1541 and 1541-II drives. Eventually I'll get a 1571 and a 1581, but that's later.
My goal? A complete Apple IIgs, Commodore 64 (or 128), and Atari 800XL for archival use (I have a bunch of old floppies) and to show my kids what computers were like back then and what they're capable of now. | |

Apple tv?Chromecast + Showbox + Allcast.
Best combination thus far | |

Re: CableCardThat's not Apple. Say what you want about Apple, but the company is usually fairly good about taking semi-complicated tech and dumbing it down for the lowest common denominator. | |

Heh.. An InfiniTV or HDHomerun Prime with a CableCard. Problem solved.
Advantages? InfiniTV can have up to 6 Tuners while the HDHomerun has 3, BUT has DLNA support. | |

said by IowaCowboy:AppleTV with a CableCard slot, problem solve . What problem does that solve, exactly? Seems to me, that is just the status quo. | |

Re: No needAren't the Roku 3 and Apple TV about the same cost? | |

You people are missing the point that Apple may be just big enough to pull off content licensing rights. Roku? Probably not so much. Netflix is just starting to apply enough pressure that content creators like HBO are starting, slightly, to defect from cable content ranks. However, it isn't nearly enough. | |

Waiting game...Apple can afford to wait on this.... And move at the right time.
Apple goes into markets where it can corner/control the technology and experience for the next 3-5 years over its competition.
There's nothing to control here yet. Cordcutting is happening, and it will play into Apple's favor if they wait for the current market players to be more desperate.
The iTunes music deals happened because Apple could negotiate from a position of strength as the labels were wallowing from piracy.
We don't yet have that in TV... But it's coming. | |
