AppleTV and What I Think About It.

[alanbstard4]

If I have a dvd player and dvds, what use can this thing be? Seems like a gymic I'd be interested in knowing what this thing can do that would classify it as a practical thing worth getting

[littleshoeshopper]

I really like my apple tv a lot.

[xvjano]

fanboys

[sccerstr09]

2 TB iTunes library? Don't think so

[X3xGh0sTx3X]

should have gotten a google tv if any. or just a dvr?

APPLE FANBOY?

[kiashadowwave]

Wow, what a retard, ever heard of a DVR? You know, the thing that lets you record shows and watch them at your leisure?

[spannerotoole]

Isn't AppleTV just a rip off of MythTV?

[alanbstard4]

@spannerotoole i think it's for gadget freaks. I cant see how this thing has anything i need

[Tankbot85]

This guy defends apple no matter what crappy product that they put out. And also i cant believe that this 1 sided, Closed minded idiot has a wife.

[alanbstard4]

@Tankbot85 ah so you gotta buy Apple to benefit from this. It's pointless

[bmw2go11]

[UmpaEG]

I have the old AppleTV with Boxee and XBMC. In the UK I can watch live TV on the device. most people have PVR systems that series link, so the comment about watching TV shows only when they say you can is wrong. Also many cable operators do VOD (video on demand) so that kinda fixes that issue.It will soon be the case that ALL cable operators will go VOD and Steve Jobs knows this - and thats one of the reasons his AppleTV is regarded as a hobby and has no way to bring to market what he wants.

[TheEkkerd]

No porn on your apple tv nanana

[PzkfWII]

You are trying to validate your wasted money by claiming that regular, cable TV "rules your life" because it has a SCHEDULE? And that you'd rather PAY for every, single TV show that you normally get for FREE?

I pray that this is an elaborate joke and that you are not that retarded.

[TheEkkerd]

@PzkfWII Do you really think he will admit that? He will wank on anything that comes from Apple.

[MrConsumerWhore1]

Lrn2pvr. Record and order shows at a price that is lesser then apple tv. LOL

[MrConsumerWhore1]

Apple think different... But look generic and stupid.

[Drummer22b]

nobody buys apple tv so shut up, even if apple stuff sucks u defend them u pussy cunt fagget asshole

[OhNoItsGojira]

which mac podcast were you talking about?

[AndrewDeLong]

@androidsucks

Lol. Well, technically, SOMEONE is supporting those people by buying and uploading the torrent in the first place. So don't worry, your precious multi-million/billion dollar corporations and artisans will be just fine.

[CommonDreads]

I'm getting google tv.

[dicksoper]

Your telling me that the reason Apple tv is so great is because you pick when you watch what you watch? Have you met this magical thing called DVR? I can watch my shows when I want by simply recording them.

[nakedmongoose123]

cable doesnt tell you to do anything.. if it MADE you sit down, drop everything your doing, and watch a show, like you basically just said. Then no one would have it. It basically says, "hey we're broadcasting this show, at this time, if you want to watch it". your so fucking dumbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb­bbbbbbbbb it makes me ashamed to be american

[YEE941]

it would be cool if it could run games and use iphones and ipods as the controllers

[Mdschannel]

@YEE941 i think theres an app for that

[lightbeing80]

Apple Soldier... what is your preferred backup solution? I am looking into one for my macbook pro... Will an external with Time Machine be sufficient... or do i go for something like superduper... or even both ?

[lilxrich123]

omfg... really apple faggot soldier......u dnt need t.v cable???? really???? so if apple comes out with a fucking mountain bike. let me guess u dnt need a fucking car as well.... god damn u really need to blow steve jobs get it off ur check list huh.......................ipho­ne going to verizon long time ago u said it would stupid if did but i bet ur next vid is going to be bout how smart apple is going to othere networks...

[AndrewDeLong]

Lol. Torrenting...it works better. Just download, watch, and store it or delete it.

Cable, Satellite, even Apple TV...all archaic by comparison.

[ItsVagTastic]

@AndrewDeLong not to mention all the drm

[AndrewDeLong]

@ItsVagTastic

drm?

[Remoth000]

I do agree that the apple tv is a very nice device for streaming your content to your TV, however I am more of a fan of the old version with actual local storage. although I dont use it anymore (because I dont even use my TV anymore), I still liked being able to use it as a semi-portable device to take movies with me. I would fill it with movies and tv shows for when I go to a friends or family's house.

[kenspocket]

@TheIvanFilko , not sure what you mean ,its really cheap ,tryi getting the same setup from a TV sat setup dealer install etc, a wireless HDMI..If you can play anything from itunes , inc movies,then i think its good ,i personally dont need it as my projector screen is direct on my setup,but if you have a computer rig in one room and wanted all your media in itunes on the tv setup ,then its a good idea.you dont need 2 use the itunes store for content as you know just drag mp4 etc to itunes lib...

[joeyjobear]

What about tivo? Hulu and other streaming websites? Downloads from torrents? Other than tivo most those things are free. With less proprietary software and no renting or buying t.v or movies.

[joeyjobear]

@joeyjobear And how do you watch live events?

[alexwilsonvids]

Some netflix streaming devices cost more than the apple TV itself.

[alexwilsonvids]

I don't understand why you use screen flow when you don't use your screen in the video.

[dirtygore]

apple tv is useless outside of america. 

[jonvagnier]

There is a cool thing that came out awhile ago...its called DVR

[manicjupiterflute]

Why the hell do you buy all these apple products? You have the i7 imac, mac pro, and now an apple tv? Apple tv is stupid. All it is is big giant front row.

[MountainVP]

New headphones? What are they called? Like them?

[Tsylord]

Does it stream imported movies that have been ripped from a DVD?

[arthmus01]

@Ameeran5 Yes, there's really nothing Apple TV offers that Virgin media hasn't had for years, which is probably why Apple TV never really took off here in the UK. And I can't see it changing either, since Virgin will soon be in competition with the free YouView service. Nobody is going to pay £99 for Apple TV when you get more from a £30 YouView box

[jamessullenriot]

@applesoldier - If you want to avoid using the cumbersome method for entering username, passwords, search terms, etc ... download the Remote app from apple. It makes things much easier. Your iphone, ipad, or ipod touch act as a remote for your apple tv.

[ijoshtech]

2TB!!

[sox5404]

loool they want you to watch when they want you to watch :D:D:D:D

WHO ARE THEY ????:D:D:D:D

[Baz0kable]

Dude you have so much shit on your dock. Did you use terminal commands create the separations on your dock? If so, what are they?

[34skyline]

I wonder if I can hook up the AppleTV to my 27" LED Display that I just got

[macspwnufail]

@34skyline yeh there is a mini dispaly to hdmi adapter

[macspwnufail]

@34skyline or you could just use itunes ;)

[PietroDimeglio]

If I buy a movies on iTunes can I watch it on Apple TV? Or can I only rent them?

[jamessullenriot]

@PietroDimeglio Yes, you can stream anything in your itunes library directly to apple tv

[stopthepolicestate]

I agree it is a great device..and I noticed I can even listen to the radio feature while looking around some of the menus..How cool is that ? I also give it a 5 out of 5. And the price is awesome as well. Great review..

[bigkid666999]

I'm amazed Apple decided to actually support HDMI instead of forcing you to find a TV with a Displayport.

[Centribo]

My only complaint is 1080p, most people have 1080p tvs and 720p only was just a retarded move.

[kenspocket]

@TheIvanFilko simple , i connect my mac direcly to the tv and suround amp ..dvi to hdmi + optical + bluetooth keybaord , wireless magic track pad , or ipad remote . job done .

[xnf90x2]

only supports 720p hd wtf?? not even 1080i

[kenspocket]

@xnf90x2 keeps the streaming solid .

[Centribo]

@xnf90x2

Fun fact: 1080i is actually much worse than 720p.

[JamesManes]

@Centribo Silly 2k interlacing technology.

[xnf90x2]

youre such a schmuck 

[xnf90x2]

Didnt even watch the video and i know what you think....you think it is amazing just like every other apple product...

[ipwncrackas]

Netflix on Apple TV is a good idea, Apple might not make as much money from people not buying AS MUCH things from iTunes Store, they make that money up from Netflix paying them to be on their device.

[pixeltater]

My appletv is on its way to my house and it seems nice, but I'm not sure it will replace my mac mini running plex 9. If it doesn't I'll give it to my parents.

[coked007]

you can use your ipad or iphone as a remote with the apple remote app for free

[rednes800]

I love the new Apple TV... But im having this problem with rented movies from apple.(Not netflix or any other program) When i go to watch the movie i rented part way through the movie or every 20 minutes it will stop and i have to press play again. Its sort of annoying. Maybe its just mine Idk. Other then that i love it

[hallbe]

Why didn't you use your iphone as a remote? Makes keying in text much easier! I use mine to control my windows pc that's hooked to the big screen.

[TheWiiHackerz]

I can see iAds on apple TV in apple tv version 2 or version 3 once it gains more momentum

[ReneAlanisJr]

Amen with Cable TV. I think Netflix and iTunes will revolutionize the way we watch movies and TV shows. The only reason I have cable now is because of news and live sports.

[X3xGh0sTx3X]

@ReneAlanisJr

GOOGLE TV!

[bearmare]

"Single and live by yourself..." is this a confession? Well, that is the first bit of truth I've ever heard from this hillbilly. The only thing that makes Apple TV great is that they lowered the price of the damn thing that it can compete against Boxee. And there's the regional issues that persist. You can only get this content in the US and no where else. Why don't they just sell this thing in the US ONLY! That would be truth in advertising.

[animationmusicvideo]

this actually doesnt seem that bad

they could add some some extrea storage but hey this looks like it could be a big start too something.

maybe soon or later on it could be an actual apple style tv

maybe a 32 inch monitor

and you can switch from your apple desktop too your tv....or do split screening.

either way it looks like a reat idea that will lead too something even better and a big jump for apple

[jfost784]

i think that hulu plus is a better deal. there are more shows available and if youre gonna watch more than 10 shows a month, youre saving money compared to apple tv

[Anoxia425]

Good stuff my man, I needed this to push me towards buying it. It''s to cheap to resist. 

[Zombiebrainstew]

Can you pause a movie you've rented? Just in case something came up and you're only thirty mins into the movie or something? Or is it pay .99 and watch it all right then and there?

[CJCorndog5595]

Hey Eric, have you tried the Hulu Desktop app? It’s for Mac and Windows. It is excellent, but still in beta. You should try it out,

[VegasUndergroundHD]

I will agree. If I weren't married with a 8 month old son and lived on my own id have an Apple TV myself. I only ever watch a few TV shows and your right, it is a pain in the ass when you want to sit down and watch say Ice Road Truckers but nope it's not on until 9:30. It may be a hobby project for Apple, but the Apple TV is something Apple did that just felt right.

[atomhacker]

I get to watch what I want when I want on ThePirateBay and ree-tv-video-online.info.

[renegade8164]

Hasn't Viasat "On-Demand" for a long time now?... Well, you need to pay per month for it

[MarkBTW]

I prefer satellite/cable, then you don't have to worry about what you wanna watch, you just put it on a channel and watch whatever is on. You find new, better shows that way.

[sn0le]

When it comes to watching what you want when you want, many people have a PVR.

I've had one for a couple of years now, and I just set it up to record my favourite shows.

So I never watch a show when it is on. I watch it whenever I have the time.

[TheGregaM]

great little device, but still too limited, you must have itunes, movies must be in mp4 and in itunes library.. 

[TheGregaM]

@TheGregaM oh and yeah, I understand maximum 720p for streaming for internet, but sorry Apple, 1080p is todays standard, it should be possible to stream FullHD movies from other network computers

[PlanetPatricksVideos]

does america not have sky?

[CJCorndog5595]

@PlanetPatricksVideos

No we do not. I believe Hulu is very similar to Sky. No sports games on Hulu though.

[ScorShape]

@themacbox Use "Hotspot Shield" to make the internet think you are in the U.S.A.

I enjoy Hulu and Netflix with it. Viel Spaß!

[ZAMtech1994]

if you are just gonna talk to the camera then why do the picture and picture to show your desktop. Your video is tiny and hard to see. showing your desktop is a waste of space

[ViciousDave4Life]

Well, Apple TV may work for you, but I watch live television events only available on cable tv stations such as SyFy, USA, TBS, Spike, and more. WWE, Dirty Jobs, not available on Apple TV. The Apple TV is another niche product that only very few people are interested in.

[thebeetalls]

netflix+hulu = never a need for cable. Though I'm not a fan of the appleTV, it doesn't even support 1080p and a lot of the popular online formats(like mkv) aren't supported; Then again, it does support itunes which is nice for people who use itunes store. i've been using itunes for years but don't even have an account :P

[Imappleboy]

Mabe this is a start to apple going to be a "console" 

[driso9]

I have DirecTV and I watch what I want when I want to watch it. I use my HDDVR. I although do get what your saying but I have to have cable because I love sports.

[TheWizyg]

They would make it so much better if they added ios apps. They could've done so much more. I agree with you.

[wings400]

os x, brothers! :D

[arzama1]

Idk.. but for some reason Apple TV just doesn't fall under the spot light for Apple at all... Because they took away some features, like buying movies...

[TheWizyg]

Hey eric, do you think there is a limit of shows? Im an apple fan also, but im holding back.

[AppleSoldier]

@themacbox that sucks man.

[computing4newbs]

@AppleSoldier do you think the new apple tv is better than the old one

[lines4you]

ondemand is awsome now no offense but you may not like i but it awsome

[ace7394]

1. Why do a screen flow if your just talking?

2. I have a ps3 with netflix& 1st gen apple tv should I get this?

3. Great video

[AppleSoldier]

@ace7394 because it records the best quality off the isight and it encodes better than any other app i own almost.

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

You make good videos, but why are they always recorded in screenflow with your video in a small box?

[IMPMAC]

@TheIvanFilko I know, it sucks. And they complain why people pirate tv shows and movies

[Joeallday14]

@TheIvanFilko its completly useless in europe.... applesoldier is in america hes not talking about u guys

[illage2]

Apple TV isn't somehting I am going to buy. I don't need one.

[MutantKush]

Apple will take over the market and censor the shit out of it.

[djatomic1985]

mac's shit all any pc its just pc fanboys who hate apple products if u put an pc with same specs up aganst a mac the wil win evertime.

[nepalihercules]

@djatomic1985 yea but the price difference is just huge for the same specs

[djatomic1985]

@nepalihercules bull shit. ok then tell me this, witch computers do u see hollywood studio use? they all use mac and y they a bettter built mashines and the softwear just works. but with gaming pc is better at the momet but it want b long till mac take over that also

[nepalihercules]

@djatomic1985 haha first learn to spell,

[nepalihercules]

@djatomic1985 fking retard

[Joeallday14]

@djatomic1985 thats bs buddy

[oBLACKIECHANoo]

@Aztianphotography you are fuckin retarded, mac = overpriced peices of fuckin shit made for the type of fucktards that will buy something because it looks cool anybody that has any common sense would realise that.

[AppleSoldier]

@oBLACKIECHANoo lol, sure. And you call ME the shallow one.

[EvilPinkBunnyRabbits]

Spend $99 on an Apple TV or watch anything I want online for free with slightly lower quality. Thats coming from a big Apple fanboy.

[AppleSoldier]

@EvilPinkBunnyRabbits thats not what i said at all man. Anything you want? Free? Im sorry but i dont believe you can watch ANYTHING you want for free unless your a fucking thief.

[EvilPinkBunnyRabbits]

@AppleSoldier I meant me, I'm a big Apple Fanboy. Macs, iPods, iPhones and all that are amazing and im really against anything Microsoft, Dell, HP etc. but the Apple TV really isn't anything. I dont want to spend money on something I can get for free, and yeah i guess i am a thief but who doesn't steal at least one thing off the internet? Until it gets more features I'm just gonna stick with my regular Digital TV.

[Vpshufflerz]

i hope it comes out in the Netherlands...

[m4cbook]

@Vpshufflerz It will... But no Netflix

[Vpshufflerz]

@m4cbook k, nice. ty!

[Joeallday14]

@Vpshufflerz im sure it will eventually

[oBLACKIECHANoo]

this guy obviously works for fucking mac, every peice of crap they make for the retards out there, he likes and spams videos about them. and incase you didnt know in the uk, the big companys for tv are "sky" and "virgin mdeia" both of those let you watch when you want when you want and record the shows without even been on that channel. mc tv = failure.

[oBLACKIECHANoo]

@oBLACKIECHANoo this already makes those better than mac tv.

[AppleSoldier]

@oBLACKIECHANoo uh, do i live in Europe? lol, NO!

[pacorocks1]

i haven't even watched the video yet, but i already know what hes gonna say

"Fuck microsoft, love apple, apple tv ROCKS, anything from apple rocks, flash sucks" Its getting boring, mr.emeek

[AppleSoldier]

@pacorocks1 its an appletv review man, dont make a mountain out of a mole hill. I dont say one cross word about pc in this vid.

[pacorocks1]

@AppleSoldier its all the same, literally every video :P

[sc0pl355]

@pacorocks1 You should watch the fucking video before commenting.

[CHUMOROCKS]

@ChocolatersPancake Who even carries their Apple TV and their original TV in a forest?

[DRBUK]

im in line with you eric, the only issue is live sports events, for the UK, you need cable or something like it to get live sports, sometimes ok its free on the web, but not all the time...sports and maybe news is what i need in apple tv because then GOODBYE lol ill be happy with an apple tv box than paying for cable or an equivalent...

[DRBUK]

@DRBUK i def think ill be getting an apple tv in the future, the key thing to me is the price, it was really holding me back but man now its pretty attractive !

[AppleSoldier]

@DRBUK i agree, apple's never been very "sporty" lol.

[acoleman1324]

more videos on appleshakeguru channel!

[AppleSoldier]

@acoleman1324 i have one coming next week to Appleshakeguru channel. Early.

[EPS5000]

The only thing I use my TV for is Blu-Ray movies. For everything else, I can watch it on my 27" iMac via hulu, boxee, and iTunes.

[AppleSoldier]

@EPS5000 you said it dude.

[TheJaykTheory]

I'm sure Apple TV is great.

But I'm going to wait a few more releases until they release the Apple TV 3GS OS5 With Wifi... and a compass.

[gsr1379]

I like your wall paper!

[Mastersun88]

yeah I don't really watch TV any more and my parents see that I am always on my computer so they never got me another TV since we moved back into our house so I have not watch TV the way I used to before we left our house and I got my own computer even a mac computer. also I am too busy with school and doing videos on my channels here on youtube. so it is hard for me to find time to watch TV.

[ilovmc]

First

[jsnissan]

What about on demand cable and satellite?

[Tony3567]

have you heard about the boxee receiver that's coming out in november?

[AppleSoldier]

@Tony3567 yes, Boxee looks promising

[erillanos]
