Its a neat device. But like things like Roku, I don't see a lot of point to it. I mean, great, watch apple media on tv or netflix. Great. Every bluray player out there seems to do netflix.
No mkv. Won't do bitstream audio, low bitrate 1080p isn't crazy impressive, so.. For those that hack it with xbmc, interesting. I guess I'm waiting on a Ceton Echo instead. :) Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T -----Original Message----- From: Steve Tomporowski <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected]: Sun, 18 Mar 2012 16:57:05 To: <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [H] Another Point of View of Apple TV I didn't post this to make any judgement on the Apple TV. What caught my eye was the incomprehension of what the devices does.
