Your computer is the center of your digital life. Your TV is the center of your entertainment life. But what if you want to watch movies, TV shows, movie trailers, podcasts, and photos from your computer on your TV? For one low price, Apple TV brings iTunes to the big screen. Say you've just downloaded The Incredibles from iTunes. Instead of huddling around your computer to watch, you pop some popcorn while your computer wirelessly syncs your new flick to Apple TV. Then you pull up a seat, put up your feet, and pick up the included Apple Remote to play your movie on TV. Give yourself a hand: You've just changed the way you watch digital media.  | | Getting all your favorite iTunes movies, TV shows and music from your Computer to your TV is a snap with Apple TV. | Apple TV ports iTunes to Apple TV, wire free.

Your iPod syncs seamlessly with iTunes. Apple TV does the same — wirelessly, from wherever your Mac or PC may be. Your computer is in your office. Your TV is in your living room. Apple TV brings them together using its built-in 802.11 wireless capability and your existing wireless network. Pair Apple TV with your computer and your TV shows, movies, music, podcasts, and photos sync automatically. Through the air. Like magic. Sync from one… Open iTunes and Apple TV appears in your devices list, ready to sync. Set iTunes to sync unwatched video. Sync new purchases. Or manually select what to sync. Set your preferences once and Apple TV automatically updates as your iTunes library changes. Everything travels over your network to Apple TV's built-in hard drive. So once you sync, even if you turn off your computer or disconnect it from the network, you can still enjoy stored video — up to 50 hours of it — from Apple TV. …stream from many. If you want to watch video from another computer, you can stream it live to your TV via Apple TV. Streamed media travels over your network to your TV — without taking up space on Apple TV's hard drive. That's perfect for multicomputer households or when the computer you sync with has more in its iTunes library than will fit on Apple TV. Just choose up to five additional computers from the Sources menu. As long as a computer's on your network, it can stream to your TV. It just fits.
Easy connectivity and built-in wireless make Apple TV right at home in your home entertainment system. Got a widescreen TV? Got iTunes? Then you're ready for Apple TV. Connect Apple TV to your TV and open iTunes on your computer. iTunes wirelessly detects Apple TV and walks you through a simple setup. Relax and unwire. If you don't have a wireless network, you can set one up easily with a wireless access point like the superfast 802.11 AirPort Extreme Base Station. Newer AirPort Extreme-enabled Macs let you create a wireless network using only your computer. And if you have a Mac or PC without wireless capability, you can connect Apple TV to your network using an Ethernet cable (sold separately). What you need - Widescreen TV

Apple TV connects to your widescreen TV via an HDMI cable (sold separately). This simple connection delivers both audio and video to your TV — no need for multiple cables. If your TV's HDMI port is occupied by another device, or if your TV doesn't have an HDMI port, you can connect to Apple TV via component video and audio. So no matter what your entertainment system looks like, Apple TV connects easily. And since Apple TV has a built-in power supply, there's no unwieldy power brick to hide. Help when you need it.
From connecting your existing A/V receiver to selecting the right video mode, if you run into problems while setting up your Apple TV, help is just a click away. Get quick and simple setup and connection solutions from the Apple TV: Tips and Basic Troubleshooting guide. Apple TV works with widescreen, enhanced-definition or high-definition TVs capable of 1080i, 720p, 576p, or 480p resolutions.

40 GB is Often Enough November 3, 2009
Glenn R. Howes (Nashua, NH)
I've owned a 40GB AppleTV for over a year. I do not see any particular advantage between the 160GB version and the 40GB version as while 40GB is pathetically small for storing a video library, 160GB is too. That is why I don't buy movies and store them on the device. I've multiple terabytes of video in my house, and it would be futile to store any of it on such a low capacity device.
On the other hand, 40 GB is ample for all but the most extensive digital audio collection and for one's top rated photographs. So I keep my 3 star or higher music files on my AppleTV and use an AirTunes enabled Airport Express to stream sound to the speakers in my bathroom. This is controlled with the must-have Remote app you can get for your iPhone or iPod Touch.
And a common activity is watching movie trailers on a lazy Saturday afternoon, or renting a kids movie during the weekend. Or showing a slideshow of my kids to visitors. Or watching YouTube. And I'm interested in the new feature of listening to Internet radio broadcasts found in the 3.0 version of the AppleTV operating system.
The device is often warm to the touch, but never noisy.
I've also tried hacking the device and installing XBMC to watch movies from a home server, but the results were too cumbersome and it is annoying reinstalling after every OS update.
So, yes, the Apple TV could do more. It could have Netflix integration (never happen), it could get its local video from a centralized NAS instead of a computer running iTunes. It could allow web browsing. It could do these things and be a great indispensable device, but it doesn't and it is just a nice, easy to use, friendly device that does a few things quite well.
 Won't work with iTunes -- and Apple Support can't help and won't refund October 25, 2009

I also want to preface -- I am (or was) a big Apple fan.
I never succeeded to synch the Apple TV with iTunes. I spent hours (literally) with Apple customer support (which by the way ranges from barely competent to quite good).
I consistently received the 3689 port error -- and despite opening up this port on my Windows Firewall and my Symantec anti-virus, I still received the port error message. I was told by Apple support to reconfigure my router, which is beyond my abilities.
At this point I asked for a refund, because without iTunes Apple TV is little more than a way to see YouTube on your television. Apple TV is supposed to be a consumer product, fully tested.
Apple consistently refused my request for refund -- told me to go to BestBuy, where I bought the product.
Warning -- if you buy this, make sure you get it to work within 30 days (or the return policy of the vendor).
Apple does not stand behind this product!
Easy, simple, incomplete September 22, 2009
Diego H. Schammas (Argentina)
Easy to install, easy to use, good quality, but It's unbelievable that itunes offers movies, tv shows, etc. without subtitles or close caption !!! many times the conection between apple tv and imac gets slow so it pause playing and makes you wait a couple of seconds. Sync only woks manually from you computer.
