I have been watching netflix downloaded movies, as well as renting newer movies from VUDU, on my blue-ray DVD player for a couple of years, so when I decided I wanted to watch other streaming media sources I began researching my options. I came to an easy decision, the Apple TV. Two weeks ago I bought this very cool device that allowed me to watch all my video podcasts, listen to all my iTunes music, and also my downloaded DVDs. I even used my photos as a screensaver. Cupertino's best had come to West Virginia. Bliss!
Well, for a while at least. Blissful ness turned a bit sour when I clicked the "upgrade now." My brand new Apple TV suddenly froze the screen. Oh well, I'll look at the directions (1st time ever having to do that for any Apple product) and find out what to do. Hmmm, nothing listed in troubleshooting guide for frozen screen. Oh well, I'll perform the other Apple product method of correction, power down, unplug, replug and reboot. After four times I realized I purchased one of the most rare products sold by Apple, a malfunctioned unit. Ok, I wrapped it back up, took it back to Best Buy and in 3 minutes I had my 2nd Apple TV in the same day. It was disheartening to hear my wife call my Apple TV a piece of junk, especially after I had to re-enter all those passwords AGAIN, but what the hay, I was going to watch Leo Laporte on my 60" TV. NOT!
My 2nd brand new Apple TV failed upon update. After telling three different Apple service representatives my problem, I got nothing. Well actually the last gentleman suggested I physically connect my Apple TV to my desktop and restore it. I did and it worked. One more time, I re-entered all the passwords necessary and I have a functioning Apple TV. I will not, however, ever, I say EVER update it. I've even put a sticker on the remote that says, "Do NOT update, under any circumstance."
Otherwise, I am 100% satisfied with the Apple TV. Much better than my Bluray and my Roku box.
PS, still waiting on an email from Apple.

I love this little baby. It connects to my iPhone without any wifi and let's me stream the Hulu app on my iPhone right to my flat screen. It's spotty sometimes, but when it connects it's perfect!!!

We got this to watch bible study videos and it is so easy to use. I've never been much of an Apple supporter, but it's growing on me - this stuff works. Airplay is a great thing, and makes it easy for everyone in the house to use. I just need to find time to get iTunes configured so we can use it to browse pictures from our computer.

We have a HD tv in our livingroom, but it doesn't happen to be a smart TV. We purchased this mainly as a way for our iTune movies to be able to be watched on our TV and not just the computer or iPad. It has turned out to be so much more! We enjoy mostly HULU programs, and movies, as well as HBO NOW, and Netflix. We've only had it a little less than a month and use it all the time -- in fact we rarely watch regular nework / cable programs as scheduled any more! Awesome. Love it.
