Hello WAMUGers with Apple TV, "The Apple TV has gained three new channels: ABC News, PBS Kids, AOL On, and Willow TV. Unlike the Watch ABC app, which requires a cable or satellite subscription, the ABC News app is free to all. PBS Kids is free, but requires online activation. AOL On is also free, but the Willow TV app, which features live cricket broadcasts, costs $15 a month. The Flickr app has been redesigned to allow account logins and vastly better photo discovery."

Every time they announce a few new channels, we go to our AppleTVs, realise that most of the channels they just “added” aren’t even there. Then you realise that the one’s that *are* there are heavily US centric and full of advertisements (or in fact that you have to pay for them). You hide the ones that are in these categories, and then you just have what you always had which is half a dozen items. It’s good that they finally have a working Flickr app though. It only took Yahoo like, 3 years to get that done. Probably in a few more years, Flickr might have an iPad app too!" Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4
