Not that I am aware of. I have seen nothing like that on the Apple TV.

Hi Andrew,
OK, I can give you a Paypal email address if you want to send me that money
I saved you *smile*
As for foreign TV channels, no such luck. There are really no actual TV
channels available, just services like Netflix, YouTube, internet radio
stations etc. There are some sports related things, but since I am not into
those I don't know much about that.
But I think just the ability to Airplay from your phone to the TV and having
access to your iTunes library on the TV etc. is worth the $99. There are
also rumours that probably not too long in the future you will be able to
install apps on the Apple TV and that of course may open the possibilities
for more TV options.
Regards,
Sieghard

Dear Sieghard,
I've just found out that my tv is indeed capable of taking an HDMI
connection. Wonderful.
I just need to find out what else I can do with Apple tv, for instance,
whether I can stream foreign tv channels available on the internet via my
Apple tv.
Thanks again. You have saved me a lot of money.

Hi Andrew,
If you have an LCD flatscreen TV you do actually have HD and it should
have HDMI inputs unless you mix up the terminology/technology here. Is
your TV still a big box that is a foot or more from front to back or
is it a flat, relatively thin unit? When I bought my Sony LCD TV about
5 years ago they were not nearly as thin as the LCD or LED TV's are
nowadays, but it still is only maybe 3 or so inches thick. Even if
your TV does not have HDMI inputs, you could get around this if you
have buy a home theatre receiver or speaker system and unless you want
something of higher quality which would cost maybe between $800 and
$2,000 you can get entry level systems for $300 or $400. Those should
have HDMI inputs and also still have analogue outputs so you could
connect your older TV and the receiver would convert the digital
signal to an analogue one for your TV. Of course you can pick up 32
inch and even 37 inch and 40 inch LCD TV's for not too much money
these days especially if you wait maybe until a good sale like around
Black Friday or Boxing Day and the Apple TV is $99 so it doesn't break the
bank, either.
Take care,
Sieghard

What is digital optical output and what does one use it for?
I'd like to say how useful this discussion about Apple tv is for me.
I've not got one yet but I'm learning a lot about it so when I do get
it, I will be much better informed. I have not got an hd tv yet so I
can't get Apple tv because I understand that it does not work with
previous generations tv sets. Mine is a lcd flat screen tv.
Many thanks again to all of you.

Hi Simon,
I also have not hooked up the Apple TV to my receiver with an
optical cable, but there is no reason why Voiceover should not work
if you choose
to do so.
Apple has made the Apple TV accessible with Voiceover and it would
make little sense to do this only when an HDMI connection is used,
after all, HDMI is still a digital connection except that it
includes video as well as audio whereas the optical connector is
just for audio. In any case, if you are interested just buy it from
Apple and send it back within 30 days should you not like it.
Regards,
Sieghard

do you happen to know if the voice over will come out of both the
HDMI, and optical digital audio ports, or is it just via the HDMI?

Hi.The Apple TV comes with VoiceOver all set to use. If it hasn't
been set up yet it will tell you to press the lower right button on
the remote three times to activate it. What makes it even nicer is
you can easily turn VoiceOver off if you want, then with a couple of
commands turn it on again.
If you have any other questions let me know.
