Apple MA711LL/A Review by Richard H. Cowan "Green Mountain Guy" (Putney, VT USA)
This is an interesting but flawed device. Most of those flaws derive from the iTunes Store's disappointing and expensive movie format. Let's start with the lack of scene selection, a feature we take for granted in DVD's. How hard would it be for Apple to provide what even the lowest-budget DVD offers? In this context, AppleTV is totally retro, taking you back to the days of the VCR. Then there's the pause problem--if you stop a movie, a dialog box with just 2 options appears: "resume playing" or "start from beginning." That's it. So finding a favorite scene requires a lot of fast-forwarding or rewinding.
And don't forget the absurd time limitation on rented films: You have to watch it within 30 days and once you press "play" you have just 24 hours to watch it before your investment vanishes. Finally, the pricing is just plain nasty...especially when compared with NetFlix
Another area of disappointment is the interface, usually an Apple strength. A clunky "find the letter" set up makes the task of searching for content or entering data extremely tedious. I'm amazed that Steve Jobs approved this thing. Perhaps it happened while he was on sabbatical because he's always been such a stickler for elegant interfaces.
The instructions provided with Apple TV illustrate the cable connections well but don't do a very good job of explaining how it relates to your Apple computer.
OK, so what's good about AppleTV? I'm having a great time exploring the endless realm of YouTube on my large screen TV and in sharing iPhoto pictures with family and friends.
Apple MA711LL/A Review by J. Katz "WinoFino" (Chicago, USA)
First, there is absolutely no reason for anyone to purchase this doorstop of a product when items like the WDTV exist. The WDTV plays almost every video format out there, from mt2s to mp4 to avi . . . The Apple TV Doorstop only plays proprietary apple tv formats, like mv4 and mp4 that is specifically formatted to the Apple TV's limited tolerances.
The USB port on the Apple TV is nonfunctional unless you are capable of some serious hacking (which includes opening the box up). If you want to load something onto this brick, you need to have a wireless connection, or maybe wired network connection. Simply copying is not possible.
Which comes to the next tidbit: Why I avoid CrApple products. When they don't work, you can't get 'under the hood' to fix the problem. The Apple TV is notorious for failing to connect to iTunes. Oh, sure, you're network will be recognized, but iTunes will fail to connect and it will provide you with no answers and no solution.
The ONLY good thing about this doorstop is that WHEN it occasionally works, it has an awesome screensaver. Outside of that, get the WDTV instead.
