Apple TV Review 2nd Generation

[Chud7000]

i have the same tv is that a sony?



[CCTsukiko]

That's odd, I have a ps3 and as long as it's connected to the wirless and either my desktop or laptop is on, I can watch downloaded tv, music ect from either of them on my ps3.

[ReviewGuy1000]

@CCTsukiko

Sorry, I was going from the Mac user angle.

If you use a PC you can synch with a Xbox or PS3.

[CCTsukiko]

@ReviewGuy1000 My older sister has a mac laptop it works the same way.

[Videokid06]

[sur13269]

can you acces to internet and how many cable do you need to connect to the tv

[ReviewGuy1000]

@sur13269

There are 3 input/outputs.

Power

HDMI

Ethernet (you can use wifi if desired)

[tomigun01NZ]

******HELP***** does this not stream backwards, so if I rent a movie on apple TV 2 and its connected to my tv, can I watch it on my computer? Ie backwards stream compatibility

[Allanfries]

Pretty Sweet! To bad it doesn't play DVD, Blue-ray Discs as well.

[ReviewGuy1000]

@Allanfries

That is called a PS3.. :-)

[Allanfries]

@ReviewGuy1000 You got it! That's what I'm currently using. : )

[rabbitstuds]

The biggest problem from apple TV ist that he don´t support many codec´s like avi mkv and another importent formats/codecs !

[cilproductions]

[shurburs]

[hanalei412002]

Can you run two different Apple Tv on one account?? maybe one in the livingroom and one in the bed room but using the same account you have everything on?? thanks

[ReviewGuy1000]

@hanalei412002

I don't see why not, there really isn't an "account".

The Apple TV just looks for your Wifi and if you want to pull content from your computer,

they can all access your iTunes.

[hanalei412002]

@ReviewGuy1000

ok thanks for the reply!

I love it.

[trusoljahs]

@ReviewGuy1000 Sweet thank you so much. Keep up the great work.

[malignanz]

am i able to use the iPhone keyboard for youtube search and other text inputs?

[richmack06]

I love watching tech reviews on YouTube and stumbled across this video as I was in the market for an AppleTV and wanted to get other users' takes on it. Very well done. It's apparent you put a lot of prep work into it, unlike many of the video reviews you find here which seem more unprofessional and off the cuff.

[ReviewGuy1000]

@richmack06

Thanks!

[Foquerico]

WTF? I stream straight from my PC 2 PS3, no issues just not DRM stuff.

[Bananas138]

Ps3 dosent suck it's prob the best console out there.....for consols

[HanKSN101]

yOU nEED iNTERNET tO RUN tHAT sHIT!?

[ReviewGuy1000]

@HanKSN101

yEs

[mattsarah6]

sounds ace, does the HDMI support the sound or do i have to use the optical lead

[ReviewGuy1000]

@mattsarah6 HDMI will handle the sound. The fibre optic is a nice to have in case your stereo doesn't except HDMI (just your TV)

[ReviewGuy1000]

@mattsarah6

Yes, you can run the audio thru the HDMI.

The optical is there if you don't have a stereo with HDMI but still want to run the audio thru it.

[iHelpWindows7]

If you have a laptop with HDMI just plug that into your tv and OMG you can see your computers display on your tv. simple as that you don't need any silly apple tv

[ReviewGuy1000]

@iHelpWindows7

I would think it was worth $99 to keep your fancy laptop on your lap surfing the web while listening to music or watching shows. I doubt you want to be tethered to your TV. To each their own I guess.

[iHelpWindows7]

@ReviewGuy1000 Ya, good point :) I am not hating or anything good review too

[luismiguellopezx]

@iHelpWindows7 That's what i do with my TV with HDMI cable!!! lol same shit different toylet !!!!

[Spidfie]

wow, your videos don't come often, but when they do, they're worth the wait.

by the way... the PS3 Media Server program basically does exactly what the Apple TV does. Then you can stream everything to your TV from your PS3. Granted it doesn't work as well as Apple TV, and you have to manually navigate from C:\ to wherever your media is, but it gets the job done if you already own a PS3 and don't feel like spending another $100.

[OfreakinBAMA]

@Spidfie too bad ps3 sucks ;)

[Spidfie]

@OfreakinBAMA Not in the media respect. I've tried the media server option on an Xbox 360 when a friend brought his over and it sucked. Long, long waiting times before starting media and skipping quite a lot, even when just playing music.

But let's not get into that, shall we?

[OfreakinBAMA]

@Spidfie , but if you use Apple TV, why use an xbox/ps3 to stream media? hmmm...

[Spidfie]

@OfreakinBAMA I don't, like I just said... I've used one though, and it's great. much better than the PS3's implementation. I'm just saying that if you already have a PS3, go down the (free) media server route before you decide on an Apple TV.

[OfreakinBAMA]

@Spidfie but i dont have a ps3, because they suck :P

[Spidfie]

@OfreakinBAMA In case you didn't notice, i wasn't talking to you in my first post. You go and keep thinking that they suck, all I'm saying is that if you already have one try to use it with a media server. The end.

[ursomtl]

First rate review... as usual ;-)

[plasticmwindow]

really good Review :)

[ukens1]

nice review, too bad that we can't stream tv shows outside of the USA :( damn copyright issues. and THAT is why we resort to pirating.
