Apple TV Review - Helping To Make Television Awesome Once Again

By Rey Swaniawski


Apple in the last 10 years has made many electronic devices many of which are innovative. With Apple's move into television and motion pictures, it was just a matter of time before developing hardware. This is why they created the Apple TV. It is a great piece of hardware which offers quite a few amazing features.

The Apple TV is really a small box that you connect to your television as well as audio system. It allows you to view a wide variety of content for instance your iTunes tv shows and motion pictures, Netflix, Hulu, and other subscription based content such as major sports.

The goal that Apple has is actually to offer you an interface which appears to be similar to the iOS which is utilized on an iPhone or even iPad so that users can take a remote scrolling through different "apps" that display their own media. In the event that you wanted to look at MLB, you'd select that "app" and see the content you bought. It really is more or less the opportunity to purchase content directly from those who make it without the middle man of a cable television supplier. It's not really a total replacement for cable yet, but it might end up being within a number of years.

The box is great but there happen to be several drawbacks too. It does run a bit warm right after utilizing it for awhile however tends to work really well. The remote is a touch lacking. It is kind of hard to use feeling much like the controls on an older iPod. There is actually a number of issues with streaming the higher quality Blu ray since it may take some time for it to buffer even though you have it upon iTunes.

For the price tag, it is a very good deal. For those already with a more substantial iTunes library, Netflix, or even Hulu, it really is something which can be a fantastic additional for your media center. There happen to be similar competitive items, but they are missing the huge selection of the iTunes library. As time goes on, this sort of device is only going to improve with a much bigger selection of items to view.
