  • Extremely competitive price point, Best Netflix integration of any set-top device, Tiny, dead quiet, Simple to set up
  • Can only rent, not buy, from iTunes, Poor out-of-box file support, Lacks legacy connectors for older TVs, Only 720p resolution, No USB input
  • The second-generation Apple TV integrates Netflix and drops in price, but still offers little flexibility beside competing boxes. ...

  • Affordable and very easy to use. Responsive streaming from internet sources or your iTunes library. Beautiful 720p picture and 5.1 sound for HD content. Terrific for photo slide shows on your TV. Cool little remote.
  • Overpriced, understocked rentals. No way to buy content directly from Apple TV. No support for apps. Must leave iTunes running on a Mac or PC to access iTunes content. Limited streaming sources. Erratic rewinding behavior. No 1080p support. Only works with m4v, mp4, and mov video. Some very minor interface glitches.
  • This little black box works great as a content-streamer connected to an always-running Mac, but it’s very weak as a standalone set-top box. Still, for $99, it’s priced fairly and provides a painless way to enjoy your iTunes content on your TV.Apple TV...

  • Abstract:  We know you’ve been waiting for our Apple TV review, and we’ve been playing with Apple’s second try at a home theater set top box for about ten days now, and figured it was time to report back with our thoughts. The thing is, it really is a lot of th...

  • Intuitive interface, Compact design, Runs quiet and cool, Crisp and detailed 720p video, Works with convenient Remote app, AirPlay feature will soon allow streaming audio and video from iOS devices
  • Limited TV show and Internet content selection, No local storage for photos, Not as many content/app choices as competition, Tedious inputting text with physical remote
  • Apple's slimmed down set-top box sequel makes it dead simple to rent movies and TV shows, as well as stream content from PCs and (soon) iOS devices.

  • Abstract:  Set-up is easy—far easier than with its predecessor as there’s no need to enter a numeric code in iTunes on your Mac to sync the Apple TV. You connect the Apple device to an HDTV via a HDMI cable (not included) and follow some on-scree...

  • When Apple first announced its revised Apple TV, I thought, "Wow, an Apple TV for $99!". It's no secret that Apple's products tend to carry an "Apple tax", so I was confused about this one. After all, the top current media players on the market cost j...

  • The Apple TV is a step in the right direction for Apple, being able to stream content from iTunes to your HDTV is great, and although this is nothing new, the new Apple TV is much more affordable than the previous version.There are a number of things t...

  • Out of the box, the new Apple TV makes huge strides that improve the customer experience. Apple has understood its audience, and it shows in the packaging, product design, instruction manual and operational features. For now, for those who have one of...

  • Very small, blends into your home entertainment system easily, AirPlay is really cool and opens up the possibility of much more content on the device, Who doesn't love Netflix compatibility?, Competitively cheap
  • We love the idea of streaming all kinds of content from the iPad to the Apple TV. That's definitely the best reason to get a new Apple TV, as you can't do that on an older Apple TV or any other device. It helps if you have a Netflix subscription too, ...
