Apple TV (2010) in 10 minutes - TiPb video quick-start guide

[huzy71]

why is called apple TV? if it isnt one

[tgusey]

@huzy71 because you use it with your tv, im sure IF Apple were to ever make an actual tv it would be called something like Apple Vision lol

[huzy71]

@tgusey my cousin actually has the apple tv and i must say its not really worth the money at all.

[chuchu3o]

@huzy71 its worth it if u know how to use it i just bought it not to long ago :)

Friend, I have a white macbook 2010, when you go COMPUTER tab has two options of Mac models. In my case when I go to this tab, my Macbook does not appear. The white macbook is not compatible with the Apple TV to view movies that are on it?

Thanks and congratulations for the video.

hey, i think yiu can help me here.. ive rented a movie on apple tv and when i hit "play" it doesn't really show.. it comes back to the main menu i dont know why .. PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP

[bobythemaster]

@L10NELMESSI77

It's because it's still buffering or your ISP connection is slow, remember you gotta have at least 5Mbps connection for any content to play immediately, if not, apple's lowest recommendation is 1 Mbps this will play your movie in about 10~30 min depending if the movie is HD or not.

[menjo96]

Works it also with THE iPad?

[honson7]

Great vid, thanks for the overview, you've got a new subscriber, sir!

[bdashiz]

"let me just pull back so you can see it in my hand"

thats what she said

[gazaraider]

Maybe I am missing something, but I just dont see the purpose for something like this. Seems like a very roundabout way of watching video. I just download/stream a movie and play it from my laptop on my TV. Maybe I lucked into a good system? As for there being no TV shows in Canada...dude Fox is on ever Canadian cable or sat network.

Again..whats this for?

[DoTheImpossibleTwice]

@gazaraider Right now I do the same, I get my HD movies from the internet and plug my MacBook Pro up to my TV and play the videos using Plex media center. But I'm considering getting an Apple TV and jailbreak it so I can watch my plex movies without hooking up my laptop every time.

[signal6000]

I wouldnt live without Apple TV. This is the best invent of the years

[geebones]

can it play avi

[MaxxABillion]

I'm a mac fan to the core, and I don't see this standing a chance once GoogleTV takes off!!!

[Zcow29]

@MaxxABillion i would disagree substantially... having internet on your tv just isn't a satisfying experience or at least to me it doesn't seem so.. mouse tiny scroller moving around the screen typing on your lap.. just seems better to use a laptop.. apple tv is just going to get better over time.. i.e. airplay and possibly apps

[Digikid2007]

Hey now....you lied....that was OVER ten minutes. LOL!!!!

[idigcars]

I bought 2 of these yesterday. Im extremely impressed. Setup is simple and quick. The speed is also incredible. I would give it a perfect 10. For $99 there is no competitor.

[eljaimillo]

so 1 buck 1 movie?

[drawnhere]

Can you use the AppleTV with a PC to stream movies you own, or do you have to have a Mac to stream your own movies? And do the movies have to be in a particular format?

[AMAILLETTE]

do you get the HDMI cable with it

and do you get the cable to sync music or movies from itunes ?

[idigcars]

@AMAILLETTE hdmi is NOT included..the only cable included is the power cord

[auroraweddingband]

Thanks for this.  Very good review.

[mrjdmason]

umm netflix anyone?

[jairovillahbz]

Great vid, thanks Rene!

[TobiasNorbo]

I'd like to know if it is possible to watch the movies that is on your TimeCapsule without turning on your Mac?

[vsaroca]

@TobiasNorbo The Time Capsule doesn't have any media server that I'm aware of. So I don't think you can.

[iBast]

If you're streaming a video from a computer using Apple TV, can you use the computer simultaneously while streaming from it? Eg. can someone use the computer to surf the internet or play games (or even watch DVDs) while another person is streaming content from it using Apple TV in another room?

[vsaroca]

@iBast Of course. You actually don't need an Apple TV to try that. If you have two computers turn on Home Sharing on iTunes on both and you can stream and sync content between them.

[Borridd]

Just buy a $5 adapter so you can display your laptop/pc on your screen and save $94

[elemento2323]

Great review. Question: How is the streaming speed for a movie from a PC to the appleTV? Any lag? Assuming you have the appleTV on wifi... thanks!

[msviswan]

Can it play AVI movie/video files that i may have in my folder? Also, I can't stream netflix because I am not in the US mainland, I would have to change my IP. Being that you are in Canada do you have any issues streaming netflix on the computer and apple TV?

Great vid btw!

[vstephan800]

"us filthy Canadians" lol

[highwater03]

@vstephan800

lol

[Gregz0r1]

excellent vid, as always. I was unsure if you could stream from your computer, but now I know that you can!

[hogtor]

@Gregz0r1 thats the purpose of the new apple tv

[innovaciones]

Its there Closed Caption support for Netflix?

[Markgurman]

NO TV SHOWS = FAIL

[robertsammons1]

@Markgurman it has tv shows form itunes

[robnaj]

Netflex in the US is Good for the people who like to watch a lot of movie not so good for TV shows but that is what HULU is for right.

[helbro]

the power brick was never external.

[SpeedFleXXX]

[oxygentmr]
