I mean seriously, give me ...Is this just link bait? I mean seriously, give me a break!<BR/><BR/>You had two issues with Apple TV. Interface and Content. So lets start with interface. Being a TiVo user I will agree that the peanut remote is great. Without looking at it I can figure out virtually all of the important controls and likewise the TiVo interface is wonderful but how exactly is the apple remote/interface lacking? <BR/>If size is your big issue, velcro it to your receiver's or TV's remote. Grow up and keep track of your toys. It is small and it can get lost but just like the TiVo remote I can find all the controls in the dark. It is simple elegant, solid and not easily broken. As for your button issues, I can only guess you have a defective remote because my 2 year old has no problem pushing all the buttons (she has put the unit into some very strange states including locking the remote to the AppleTV)<BR/><BR/>As for the interfacing being totally image based? I guess that's true except for where it is not. Like all of the stored content, which you browse through just like TiVo (although I would like the right arrow to act like a select like TiVo does just for consistency sake). The search allows for searching by any meta data I could think of. Go ahead and type an actors name and see what comes up.<BR/><BR/>So on to content, I will admit I look forward to Apple continuing to increase in this area, but contracts with the big players are complicated and when you have multiple studios in the mix things take time. But I started thinking? How many Blu Ray DVD's are there and how many AppleTV HD movies are there? Well I can't get solid facts about Blu Ray but Amazon states that they sell over 1000 Blu Ray titles and Netflix says they have over 1000 to rent. My guess is that this means they only have a little over 1000 titles. By my count Apple has just over 700 HD MOVIES to sell/rent and that does not include the HD TV shows that are probably included in the above numbers. So your rant about HD selection sounds a bit hollow.<BR/><BR/>So AppleTV is perfect right? NO!. Content needs to increase rapidly and back catalog titles need to drop dramatically in price to spur sales (like the $1-$5 DVD boxes at WallMart) and HD movies need to be available for purchase. TV show prices should drop based on duration ($.99 for half hour shows) and the premium for HD content should drop or be eliminated soon. But as a way to get the most out of your iTunes purchases and integrate much of your digital life with your big screen TV, Apple TV makes a lot of sense.puggslyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05742318747513883066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22783006.post-37368618392692098292008-10-31T15:59:00.000-05:002008-10-31T15:59:00.000-05:00macgeek has it right, why on earth would you store...macgeek has it right, why on earth would you store all that content on the ATV??? It's designed to stream either from a computer or off the internet. Accessing both ways are very easy. This is a non-issue.<BR/>I love my Apple TV but the movie moguls crippled the device for so long by limiting the amount of content they would let Apple have. They gave free reign to other companies (ie Amazon, etc.) in hopes of hurting Apple's possible dominance.lantznhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05741087139106260373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22783006.post-46248235708847398132008-10-31T13:06:00.000-05:002008-10-31T13:06:00.000-05:00Why do you need to store content on your apple tv?...Why do you need to store content on your apple tv?

Apple is getting REAL bad about upgrade path selling --i.e. they sell you a Apple TV with a tiny hard drive and the next version will come with a 500GB HDD and a year later 1 TB HD --of course they could put in a 1TB now but that would prevent them from getting your money for the other Apple TV's. The iPhone and iPhone are great examples of this.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15594178619753316546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22783006.post-69520589537146422582008-10-31T10:44:00.000-05:002008-10-31T10:44:00.000-05:00You're probably wise to do so.

Very good hardware with lots of available movies.<BR/>That AppleTV is a toy compared to a top TiVo HDXL model recorder that can be expanded probably even further.<BR/>Apple could have really built a fine product if they combined a MacMini with AppleTV, but now they remain has half-useful devices. Forget it. You made a wise decision.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594754715920685748noreply@blogger.com
