Apple TV Review 

Hello everyone, Alex here from ace4vikings productions. Today I am doing a written and video review (you can see above) of the Apple TV. The Apple TV can do many great things with your iTunes content, which I will be explaining to you today. The Apple TV can connect to your HD TV via component cables or HDMI. When you first turn on your Apple TV, you will be asked to open iTunes on your Mac or PC. Under the Devices category you will see, APPLE TV, and be asked to name your device. You can name it anything you want. You will also be asked to sync your iTunes content onto your Apple TV. You can choose to do the automatic sync or you can do a custom sync. For a custom sync you can choose what to sync in your iTunes library instead of syncing all of your content. The Apple TV has a few distinct categories such as Movies, Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, Photos, Internet, and Settings. Please let me break down each category (excluding settings). The Apple TV has a 160 GB Hard Drive. The Apple TV costs $229.

Movies: You can browse all of the newest released movies and purchase or rent a movie in standard or HD quality. You can browse by New Releases, Top Sales, Genre etc. Sometimes a new released movie won’t be available to rent until a certain date. Remember the Apple TV is synced to your iTunes account, so you can purchase or rent the movie right on the Apple TV. Standard quality movies usually cost $14.99 to buy and $19.99 to purchase in HD.

TV Shows: Browsing all of the latest released TV Show episodes is very easy with the Apple TV. You can browse by category such as, Top Shows of the Year, TV Network, Hottest TV Episodes, etc. A TV Episode usually costs $1.99 in standard quality and $2.99 in HD quality.

Music: You can browse and buy all of the newest released music on the Apple TV. You can choose from the Top Songs, New & Noteworthy, and by Genre of Music. A song usually starts at $0.99 or $1.29.

Podcasts: Browsing Podcasts is made simple with the Apple TV. You can now watch a full video podcast on your HD TV, instead of using your very small iPod or iPhone Screen.

Photos: Syncing your photos is very easy with the Apple TV. You can sync photos from your Mobile Me or Flikr account. You can even make a custom screen saver out of your photos downloaded onto your Apple TV.

Internet: The Internet feature gives you full access to YouTube and an Internet Radio. Watching YouTube is great on the Apple TV. You can browse by the Featured Videos, Most Viewed, etc. You can even log in to your YouTube account and view your favorite videos.

Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope this review was useful and helped you out.
