Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love everything overall, l like the small box does not take a lot of space... It's user friendly. I just don't like the remote it's too small and always getting lost in my covers.

I'm in love with Apple Tv! Installation was quick and easy- simply plug in to the tv (and the wall of course) and apple guides you through the rest. I love the airplay feature, access to lots of free television/internet shows as well as the easy access to my accounts like Netflix and Hulu. Not to mention my ability to fully access my iTunes account and purchased songs, movies etc! With the Apple TV in our house we can't wait to "cut the cord" to cable.

Can't believe I've waited so long to purchase this. Great picture and sound and the connectivity is awesome

This is our second AppleTV. We liked it so much we decided to put the older one, 2nd generation, in our bedroom and bought the latest 3rd generation model. It has 1080p capability which works nicely with our Sony 1080p TV. The pictures streamed are fantastic. It was easy to set up using wi-fi or direct connection to our modem. The slim control functions very well. We have it synced to our computer so we can access our photo albums and our iTunes music library, it's great! We originally bought the AppleTV just to access Netflix, but we found we can access a variety of media options with it, Hulu, YouTube, Flickr, ML Sports, Netflix, iTunes Movies, Pandora just to name a few. We've had the first one for almost 4 years with no problems. Hopefully this generation AppleTV will work as well or better. I have recommended this to my friends and family many times.

Apple TV has a sleek design, is easy to install and use, and is a useful tool for entertainment and work.

Love it. Works great and so easy to set up. Couldn't be happier and saving hundreds of dollars now on cable

If you already live in a Apple heavy user household (aka - you own an iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and/or Mac), it should be a no brainer for you to purchase an Apple TV. While there are many smart TVs already loaded with apps such as Hulu, Pandora and Netflix, I find it much faster and more convenient to go through the Apple TV interface when connecting to those applications. If you are already an iDevice user, you will find the Apple TV familiar to navigate. However, it will take several uses of the remote control before you get the hang of it and learn what the buttons do. I love airplaying content from my iPhone onto my television set through the Apple TV. Basically, you can view any content - images or video from your iDevice - onto your television. It's a great way to share videos, photos or watch movies and or videos you can't otherwise access through your TV. I also like to Apple airplay my audiobooks from my iPhone onto the Apple TV while I do housework around the house. It's great since you can make the audio as loud as you need to reach many rooms. Apple TV and Apple Airplay is a match in heaven. It is an awesome, awesome feature. Please, note, you will need to purchase a separate HDMI connector to connect the box to your television. It does not come with one.

Apple TV is as promised works great and is the best way to linq all you apple products to your media sources

Setup is a breeze. Connects flawlessly with all My apple products.

I love how easy it is to air play from my other appl devices. It had a lot of great content and just works!

This Apple TV is great! I use it for AirPlay from my computer to the tv. Very easy to setup and play.

This is very easy to set up and move as needed. Allows you to streamline pictures, apps and movies easily.

This is a nice item in such a small package. Watch home video or look at photos straight from your iphone.

I love having my Apple TV! I used to hook up my iPad to my TV using an HDMI cable and I started having a lot of issues with some of my streaming apps (older iPad). So I finally gave in and got an Apple TV and I couldn't be happier. I don't have to get up every 15 minutes to reset my iPad so I can watch one show. It is very easy to use and works great!

Without cable TV the Apple TV captures the show for us, it does pretty much everything we need and I can send anything on my phone right to the TV with my iPhone (like a chrome cast)

The Apple tv was easy to set up and works great with my Ipad. I can mirror my Ipad screen for presentation.

We are in the Apple universe with our hardware and this product fits well, works well and is easy to use.

Apple TV is so easy to setup and connect. Air play is a great way to view your IPad content on your tv.

Best to use if you already have other apple products. One of the features I like is that you can mirror what is on your phone to the Apple TV especially since Apple TV doesn't support all apps. You can "cast" most other streaming apps like Amazon Prime and Food Network to it and it plays pretty well. The only negative to that is there is sometimes a loss of playback quality, but overall a great product. This is the 2nd one I have purchased

I own several Apple TV's-3rd generation. Yes, it makes for a great addition to your TV watching experience with ever growing entertainment choices, as other reviews may well tell you, so I won't go into that here. But, it also has other uses. I will specifically address audio in this review. For one, it is a great way to receive internet music or talk stations, having far more built-in and dynamic (i.e., the list updates itself via internet to be always current) preset station choices and genres than any other device I am aware of, including any Windows or Linux software application....essentially all of the station variety found on the iTunes application that runs on the Mac or PC computers. You can select these by scrolling through a list right on your TV screen with the remote. But, my main use, and the reason I have several of these Apple TV's throughout the house, is that it supports Apple Airplay. Apple Airplay permits video or audio streaming through iTunes from any PC, iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch or Mac running iTunes or any audio application (such as "Tune-in" or "Pandora") that supports Airplay. Airplay also allows remote viewing of Mac audio and screen displays (meaning you can transmit the computer monitor display onto, say, a large screen TV). The Apple TV device is capable of receiving from any device supporting Airplay, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, PC or iPod Touch, Each Apple TV can act as an Airplay receiver for whatever source is fed into it. A simple drop down menu from the Airplay icon allows you select the receiver (or receivers) connected to the device that will be sent the signal. Multiple sources and receiving stations can be addressed directly and independently (e,g,, an iPhone can connect with a bedroom Apple TV via Airplay at the same time an Apple TV in the Living Room and in another bedroom is receiving a signal from a computer in the basement). The Apple TV remains fully functional for all other Apple TV applications when not acting as a receiver from another source. Although I have used Airplay to view the computer screen on my TV, my main use is to stream music from my iTunes library or Internet Radio stations from my computer where most of my stored music is saved (including saved rips from my CD's or other sources in iTunes ) to stereos in other rooms of the house, wirelessly, just by selecting any (or all) remote Apple TV's from a drop down list in Airplay. You assign names to identify each receiving Apple TV shown on the list. This allows one centralized device to spread music to selected locations all over the house where desired. The device will output a digital audio signal from either it's HDMI (which also supports the video signal) to the TV or Home Theater Receiver HDMI input,or, Optical audio output, which you can plug into a receiver optical input, or to an inexpensive DAC to convert to an Analog signal (stereo L-R connectors to plug into a stereo Aux input, or similar). The only time these "Airplay Receivers" need to be connected to a TV is for initial setup, they do not require being connected to a TV to receive audio input in the future. The sound quality is superb.....it does not sound any different from a direct connection from the device to the amp, at least to my ears. If you "rip" (copy) your CD's using Apple Lossless codec into iTunes, you have a direct bit-for-bit copy of the original, well within the Airplay bandwidth, so the entire signal is transmitted and received. This illustrates only one of the capabilities of the Apple TV, the one I use it for most. It is important to say that the 3rd generation Apple TV differs from the 4th generation Apple TV for audio use in that the 4th generation does not have an optical audio output, only HDMI. This does detract from the versatility somewhat in that the 4th generation cannot be fed into a stereo system through an inexpensive DAC directly, it will require a HDMI input, limiting it's use to a home theater receiver or TV to be functional. It should also be noted that using an Apple TV as a solution is far less expensive than the cost of many other wireless remote audio systems that are currently being marketed, at least in my case it is. Using an Apple TV is less expensive than using an Apple Airport Express for the same audio distribution function (although they can be put into the mix too if desired---the Airport Express has an optical audio output), and is less versatile. I can just add more Apple TV receivers as needed and they will be automatically recognized in Airplay and ready to accept the music (or other content) sent to them, and they all retain their video capabilities should I ever choose to use them this way. It works well for me!
