Apple TV rocks

March 22, 2007 By

I bought an Apple TV tonight.

I’ve watched Ask a Ninja, Rocketboom, my show, and Ze Frank on it so far.

Works as advertised. Easy to setup. It rocks.

It makes me want to put out a high res version of my show. But, it’s pretty watchable, even at the low resolution it is.

I’m watching Kevin Schofield on my 60-inch TV on it. The tour he gave me of MS Research’s TechFest really rocks. I’m watching the second part.

I think I’m going to use this almost wholly to look at Internet video shows.

The integration with iTunes really is great. This is a winner. I take back anything I wrote about it before.

Oh, and it also supports 1080i HD. Read the comments, my brother points out that while it says on the menu that it supports 1080i, it actually doesn’t output in that resolution.

I picked it up at the Palo Alto Apple store tonight. They still had them in stock after the Office 2.0 party I attended down the block with Maryam.

    When you find there are problems in your project, like certain mxml page is not updating the modification, or some asset files are missing, you can correct it by doing “clean” on the project (Project–>clean). Other times a simple “clean” will not do the trick.OK

    The Cause? part of the problem is the obvious defects at the application level – actionscripts/javascripts that are shiite, and using the damn Flash as a video delivery instead of a proper codec like h.264) …. but i suspect that theie are deep system issues in the event model & the thread model for osx itself that are also to blame.Thanks..!

    Man, a Linux version of Media Centre or whatever would probably rock compared to Apple TV or Media Centre. Alas, I don’t know of any working version just yet – but, once it gets working, you bet it’s going to take off.
    I guess the Apple TV isn’t priced badly for what you get. Although, I think they can still do a little better and I hope that in the next generation of Apple TV we’re going to see a heck of a lot more compatibility – as that’s the real problem with it for me right now.
