The Fascinating Apple TV MC572LL/A

By Michell Monroe


Even with its compact size, you will get big entertainment with the Apple TV MC572LL/A. There's a big collection of HD movies you can rent from, together with commercial free TV programs in HD, also. You could also stream movies from other services such as YouTube or Netflix. Your home theater system can display pictures and music from your pc, which can be set up with just one HDMI cable.

With the Apple TV you get a remote, which is aluminum and has seven buttons, to easily sit back and watch thousands of TV shows, rented for just 99 cents per episode. The episodes, which are high-definition and commercial free, are yours to rent, where you can have them for thirty days, until you hit play, and then you only get them for another 48 hours. On the iTunes store, there are roughly 7000 flicks with about 3400 titles in HD and many of the new movies come in the store at the same time as the DVD release. The Apple TV can even get connected to your PC or Macintosh so you will be able to view content from there as well.

The Apple TV is smaller sized than previous models, performing in an enclosure of under four inches square. It features an internal power supply, and networking with ultra-fast wireless-N-Wi-Fi, as well as an Ethernet connection. Its minimal power usage and compact size makes it run cool and quiet. If you wish to control the Apple TV, you could use the provided remote or, if you download the Remote app, you can use your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.

In most cases, consumers are actually pleased with their Apple TV, but there a few complaints. Many individuals were hoping the Apple TV had Hulu Plus or ESPN streaming on the gadget. ESPN delivers sports coverage that isn't available on Apple TV's offerings and Hulu Plus offers programs that usually are not available also. People also wanted to have the ability to access content on the computer without having to have iTunes running. Another problem for some people is that at times once the TV is shut off, the Apple TV refuses to switch off. Even though it is probably not a major issue for many, it is a minor hassle.

Like every product out there, the Apple TV MC572LL/A has good and bad points. If you can ignore the bad points, the $100 asking price makes it an excellent deal for many people. You should read the reviews, look at what it does, and see if it will do what you want, before you decide to buy it.
