New Apple TV (iTV) and Our New MacRumors Application

1080p and 1080i are kinda the same, only picture display is different, not the resolution

[CinnamonTrees]

Um, I hate to say it, but "Dismiss" only has three "S"s. I mean, you may have fixed it since; but if you haven't, I thought you ought to know.

Sorry. ;)

@CinnamonTrees Fixed it, re-download and install from our site to fix :-)

I did my research and 1080i is the not the same as 720p. I'm sorry.

[detroit110]

Ya but 1080p is 1920 x 1080 so how is 1080i the exact same resolution.

[frankjohnson123]

@detroit110 No, 1080i is 1920×1080 pixels, while 720p is 1280×720 pixels. The difference is how they display the picture. Progressive does all rows at the same time while interlaced alternates between rows.

Hey guys... 1 more video till 400... cooool

[FinalMacGoz]

Wow I didn't know the iPhone could play 1080p content if you go to Apples website it says onlt 720p. Anyways thanks for your app I love it.

APPLE ARE GETTING THEIR ASSES SUED BIG STYLE BY THE TV CHANNEL!!! DEFINITELY!!!!

[SwimFellow]

iTV is an app, and a TV channel.

[malakov5]

Your app works like a charm.

[macheads101]

@malakov5 good to hear! hope you enjoy :-)

As you said the iPhone scales down the 1080p content so maybe that is the reason but I think the main issue might be internet connections. Not very many people have a fast enough connection to stream 1080p and Apple have always made a point of instant playback.

[macheads101]

@drummerkid1993 I think you are probably right, although I have streamed 1080p before on my desktop.

[drummerkid1993]

They can't call it iTV there is a major TV channel in the UK called ITV.

[Danimop]

In the UK we already have ITV. I watch Emmerdale on it. It's rubbish.

[DPBdandan139]

@Danimop thats what I though, it will have to be renamed as I think ITV own that as a trademark... so, different names for different regions possibly.

I just read this on macrumors too, I think after so many years of the old AppleTV doing 720p, this was the moment for Apple to get 1080p out of it. I had a 160GB Apple TV but I was just so tired of it. So little use for it. Even tried boxee & etc and it just wasn't up to par. Sold it and got the latest Mini

I've been using MacDailyNews but they're always lagging . Guess I'll download this app now in case it ever gets brought down, thanks.

iTV better not be another fucking Pippin. >:(
