Apple TV

Just gave myself a 'Happy NEw YEar' gift of the current Apple TV - $99

Smashing bit of kit - small black puck with HDMI, EtherNet, Optical Out, Power

Connected it up to the Panny Plasma, Optical to my CA DACMagic, Wireless to my dedicated AV WiFi on an Airport Extreme.

Took about 10 mins to set up - then it did it's own refresh of software.

Superb in all respects so far - streaming audio sounds lovely - image quality is crisp - streaming is fast and trouble free

Love the way I can hand-off from the iPhone to the TV for video and/or audio - blew swmbo away with that trick :p

Linked it to my FLICKR feed, so I can now review FLICKR on the telly in HD - nice!

Still buggering about with it - but I've already found that controlling it via the free iPhone REMOTE App is a breeze - everyone should have one at this price! :cool:
 
i've always fancied one, it's one of the few things I don't have yet :)
 
I've thought about one, but I have a pc behind tv ... And a media streamer ... So it comes down to just liking the idea of AirPlay. Which I'm not sure is worth £99
at some stage I want to replace the pc with a Mac mini ... Since I got my MacBook I find all things windows highly tedious
