What's great about it: Video & Music Storage Capabilities. Link to ITunes. HD 1080P
What's not so great: No more Apple OS Updates. Runs Hot, No Composite Output. No Streaming Capabilities.
I have owned an Apple TV (First Generation), since it hit the market several years ago. When I saw the price offered at the Outlet center I picked up two more. What is amazing about this device is the fact that you can download all of your movies and music to the device and move it from location to location. I load it up with movies, plug it into my vehicles entertainment system and my kids have an endless movies and music for long trips. Keep in mind this unit only has the HDMI and Component HD video outputs. It does not have the older Composite outputs so this will only work with HD compatible systems. I looked at the newer Apple TV 2 but realized it is a "Streaming Only" device relying solely on high speed broadband internet connections and does not have an internal storage capacity. This is a huge plus for this Generation 1 Apple TV. One thing to keep in mind. This device gets really hot when in use and even when not in use. I highly recommend unplugging when not in use and placing it in a well ventilated area within your entertainment cabinet. Also Apple no longer provides OS updates for this unit so we will probably not see any "Streaming" functions added. The link with iTunes is terrific. iTunes treats this as another device like an iPhone or iPod. It does have an "AirTunes" function which allows the device to be connected independently to a set of speakers. I highly recommend this device especially at this price point. The products I received from the Best Buy Outlet were extremely clean and looked like brand new.
I would recommend this to a friend!
