But what is there now is not nearly what is going to be there. Of course Apple may make a lot of the new channels they will offer available to third gen Apple TV users, but we won’t know until they announce what is coming. I am quite sure that from what I have heard that the hardware of the third gen Apple TV will not be up to what is planned and with a new Apple TV only weeks away after 3 years of waiting I think it would be a poor choice to buy one at least until we know what Apple is doing. There is talk about SIRI integration, possibly a new Apple TV will have 4K support rather than just 1080P and so on.

If they have HDMI inputs you are good to go. If not you either have to buy a new TV or you can get adapters which can handle the conversion from HDMI (that is the output on the Apple TV) to one of the older input methods like RCA/composit. Alternatively, many newer surround sound receivers have HDMI inputs and all sorts of outputs including RCA/composit. Is your TV already an LCD or Plasma or is it one of the old big cube style tube TV’s? I bought my Sony LCD TV in I think 2008 or 2009 and it already had 2 HDMI inputs.

All indications are that there will be a new one coming out this fall which is going to be vastly improved and you will be available to subscribe to many regular TV channels with it. I believe Apple is still signing more deals with stations/channels because they want to be able to offer a cable alternative and you will not be able to get this with the current third generation Apple TV which hasn’t been updated in about 3 years. The rumours are that the new Apple TV will have SIRI, its own app store and a touch screen remote. I take it for granted that it has Voiceover and will be fully accessible just as the current Apple TV is. You can of course check on Applevis for Apple TV Podcasts and go to www.apple.com <http://www.apple.com> and read all about the current Apple TV there, but all that information is going to change when the fourth generation Apple TV is announced. It appears Apple also sees it as a sort of hub for current and future home automation products which of course would make a lot of sense since it is sitting in your home, it’s connected to your WiFi and hence the world via the internet and it could easily talk to any home automation products like thermostats, lights, locks and so on. I think it will be very much a game changer and right now rumours predict Apple will have their event on Wednesday, September 9 and some expect that this event will not only just introduce the new iPhones for this year, but also the new iPad Pro with a 12 or 13 inch screen and the new Apple TV. If so it will be quite an event. Of course iOS 9 will be released to the public about a week after the event. As for Jonathan’s book about the Apple TV, that is currently available on his website, here is the direct link: http://mosen.org/index.php/mosen-consulting-ebook-apple-tv-3rd-generation-with-voiceover/ I am sure, however, Jonathan will rewrite this book once the fourth generation Apple TV is out.
