Apple TV: Niggling Questions Answered

You’ve been sending questions about Apple TV, we’ve got answers. Does Apple TV support 5.1 audio? Yes (and no). Apple TV supports Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound, at least that’s what they told me in the demo, but it does not feature 5.1 discrete audio (sorry DTS lovers). Technically, it plays back AAC-LC audio…

Apple TV vs. Xbox 360: Media Center Showdown

Walt Mossburg said in his review that “Apple TV’s most formidable competitor is the Xbox 360 game console from Microsoft, which, in addition to playing games, can also play back content from Windows computers on a TV.” The Times’ techmeister David Pogue also calls up the 360 Media Extender in his review, as well some…

Behind the Scenes of Apple’s 1984 Super Bowl Ad

Everyone’s seen the Apple 1984 ad more times than they’d like by now—heck you can say the same about the Hilary version as well—but you’ve probably never seen the behind the scenes video.

Apple TV: Worth It?

Apple TV could do for television what the iPod did for music, at least that’s what some analysts are saying. But it could also become the WebTV of media centers, the sort of device that you buy for Mom as a Christmas gift but that ultimately lands in the novelty arcade. Before dropping $300, you’d…

Five Little Things We Don’t Like About Apple TV

1. The waiting period when you first boot it up is torturous. Staring at a white progress bar for over two minutes is too long. I want to start watching TV on my TV now, damnit! 2. Syncing over a wireless G network is slower than you would expect. Not really Apple TV‘s fault, though.…

AppleTV: Don’t Get Ripped Off Buying Cables

Today, we learned that AppleTV doesn’t come with cables to connect it to your TV or Stereo.
