First Look: Apple TV (MacinTouch Reader Report)

First Look: Apple TV

Nice sectioned reader report on AppleTV from MacinTouch. From his preliminary conclusions:

Apple TV is a great device which integrates easily into an existing home network and living room. Setup is incredibly easy, and the simple Apple Remote is a snap to use. While not of true HD quality, TV shows and movies purchased from the iTunes Store look and sound good – and better than what we get from standard cable. Slideshows are much more accessible on a large TV screen than on a computer in an office, and sharper and more detailed than those from an iPod with an AV cable. Adding other iTunes sources is easy, but Apple TV can't display slideshows from them.

Hi Mike,

Follow your work at HD4I and the Apple TV crosses over to a personal interest of mine too.

I run a XBMC for streaming divx, music and photos to my living room HT setup. The XBMC is a bit loud and the remote setup is a bit of a pain for non-beanie wearers but it gets the job done.

I had a painful road to the XBMC which included the DSM-320 http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=318and Hauppauge mvp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hauppauge_MediaMVP

After those products I cried tears of joy when I went XBMC.

Outside of the US what relevance does Apple TV have? for us in New Zealand (and Australia) we have no access to video content from itunes and I can't imagine what legal wrangling would be involved in providing rights to download programs that have yet to screen on local networks. That makes it an expensive audio and photo streamer for our market (NZ$500).

What is the selling point for those countries that do not have access to video content?
