Mantorp's Journal: Apple TV (to put Boxee on)

I'm trying really hard not to buy one and I need to hear from someone who has one to tell me that it sucks and that I should by no means get one.

Sorry

Same here. About the only thing I can say is "You go first!" :-)

Um...

...I know this is gonna sound crazy, since I'm as much of an Apple stooge as anyone, but I've never understood just what the Apple TV does that makes it a must-have. Then again, in Germany it's comparatively limited in what you can watch, and starts at "only" EUR 299, so maybe that's why I don't get the attraction...AFAIK the stuff isn't even multilingual, so while I could watch House on it, it would still be in German. Meh.

Cheers,

Ethelred

Thanks, that's a decent attempt at talking me out of it :) If you put boxee on it you can add your own torrent feeds and have it serve up whatever media you can find online. My main use for it would be to brainwash the kids with Swedish cartoons because my region free dvd player just died, and converting and burning stuff is a hassle anyway. Apple's site has refurb ones for $259 USD (for the 40GB version).
