Apple TV - anyone have it?

[TequilaMockinBird]

DH says we need this

Do we need it or does he just want it?

We already have iPhones, iPads, iPods but no Mac

It's very good for us as we don't have sky.

You can rent movies/ tv shows through iTunes.
If you subscribe to iCloud you can have all your iTunes music on it.
If you jailbreak it, it will play iplayer
We have it and Netflix at the moment which is a brilliant combo if you want to watch the stuff on Netflix.

My dh is the same btw! Dunno what we will 'need' next :)

Sorry - no one NEEDS one.... so of course he just wants one...

Apple and a few other tech companies who build in China have factories who have to put up anti suicide netting to stop staff from jumping from the roof....

I find the "cult" of Apple to be a bit "emperor's new clothes"

Thanks handbag, I think it's the Netflix he wants it for tbh.

But then I think we can get that through the wii anyway!

I'm still not convinced. Blardy gadgets

We've got it and it is very good IF you used to it's full capacity which I don't think we do but I suspect that's lazyness on our parts. We don't have sky so it's nice to download a few bits for the kids. Also if I could be arsed to download all our dvd's onto it that would be great and clear some space.

Just install this on a small form PC: www.team-mediaportal.com/

It is much cheaper (PCs are cheaper than apples and the software is open source (free)).

oh, I hate the mumsnet link thing....www.team-mediaportal.com/

Thanks technodad I'll have a look tomorrow when I'm on the laptop

Ooh cats I didn't realise I could put DVDs on it. I could potentially lose loads of clutter that way!
