Abstract: We should declare that we stumped up for online purchase of the new Apple TV on the day of its announcement, astounded by the price of $129, and desiring it primarily as a music streamer. We mention this because reviews written by purchasers are invariabl...

Very easy to use and set up, AirPlay streaming rock solid, Movies in 1080p HD quality, AirPlay Mirroring with iOS devices
No TV tuner, Still no iPlayer app!, AirPlay is lockeddown, Movie rentals are expensive
If you've already got some Apple devices in your home then Apple TV is a natural fit and at this price you should really consider getting one because it integrates wonderfully with your current setup. But for everyone else, even with the addition of 1080...
If you're invested in the Apple ecosystem, the Apple TV is a good product: it's the easiest way to get movies and TV shows from iTunes onto the big screen. Music is a more complex proposition, requiring iTunes Match or a networked iTunes library. Using th...
Not much difference from the previous model; 1080 videos require fast internet connection, $109
At $109, the third-generation Apple TV continues to be as excellent a value as the previous model – and now it supports higher-quality video too. That’s a good thing. For those with the previous generation, however, the decision to upgrade comes down t...
Fast performance, Great streaming quality, Few cords involved, 4K and HDR
No YouTube app available, User interface can feel cluttered
I think it's pretty obvious that I like the Apple TV 3, and prefer it to our previous method of streaming Internet content. It also lets us easily play back content from our iPads, iPods, and Macs.The user interface is very good. Although each service has...

The Siri Remote with touchpad works great, Universal search finally makes it easier to locate content, The App Store and iCloud integration are off to a promising start, Game controller support is already better than on iOS
Siri doesn't support the App Store or Apple Music —yet, Why no iOS Remote app support?, At $149, some may want to wait for more cord cutting incentives, Where to buy, The fourth-generation Apple TV is priced at $149 equipped with 32GB of storage and $199
For now, before the tvOS App Store has time to grow and mature, and before Apple has a chance to work out some of the kinks and bugs on the fourth-generation Apple TV, the main question for prospective buyers should be: How invested are you in the Apple...
It's the only option for streaming iTunes content, Apple Music, HomeKit, and AirPlay further extend the box's usefulness, App-driven home screen is easy to understand, Fairly cheap for a high-end set-top box, Only platform that still lacks voice search
Outdated hardware translates to long loading times, Limited app selection, Remote is overly simplistic and depends on line of sight
While it's beginning to show its age, Apple TV's hooks into the Apple ecosystem still make it worth considering...

Abstract: The numbers don't lie. When Netflix accounts for more than a third of US internet bandwidth, when streaming services are racking up Emmys by the truckload, when cable subscriber numbers dwindle while Amazon Prime Video sign-ups soar, it's hard to avoid th...

Simple interfac, Only player that works with iTune, AirPlay beams media from Apple devices
Fewer content choices than competitor, No universal search capabilit, Not much free content
For Apple-centric households, Apple TV is a handy accessory that gives users access to the iTunes library and content from Apple devices on their home theaters. However, those intent on becoming cord-cutters (people who have chosen to get rid of their ...
