The final piece of the Apple ecosystem digital hub, November 11, 2011 By Chad (United States)
This review is from: Apple TV MC572LL/A (2010) (Electronics)
The Apple TV MC572LL/A with the latest update 4.4.2 completely integrates ipad 2, itunes store, netflix streaming and your own media on your computer.
1. Watch netflix streaming in a fast, easy to use interface that has an amazing style only apple could do.
2. Watch the podcasts you love on itunes right from the apple tv.
3. Watch a show on your ipad, a movie rental, youtube etc, an icon appears saying you can push just that video to your apple tv. If you have multiple ones in your house, select that one from the list.
4. Ipad 2 mirroring you can play games on your ipad 2, and have the video pushed to the apple tv, it actually miorrors your ipad, and some games wil make the ipad in a racing game for example the steering wheel with everything else on the apple tv.
6. If you're looking at pictures on your iphone/ipad you can tell it to push those to the tv, and as you move from picture to picture on the phone it will transition on the tv.
7. If you have a personal library of music/movies/pictures in itunes on your computer and its shared, all those items will appear in the apple tv menu under computer. So your music
8. If you have an iphone/ipad and you use a service like pandora internet radio. you can select the apple tv as a speaker source to output the audio.
9. itunes can be used as the apple tv as an audio source as well, so say your on your laptop and instead of playing your music on your laptops speakers, you could push the music your listening in itunes to the apple tv, which may be hooked up to your fancy surround sound system.
10. Rent new release movies from the itunes store right from the apple tv, this includes browsing the top lists, watching a preview of the movie, and clicking rent with it being ready in about 30 seconds to a minute to watch.
I have cut out the cable tv portion of my comcast bill, all I have is over the air tv with an HD antenna, an apple tv, and netflix streaming. I am a major couch potato if that says anything and the apple tv is just amazing. CONS: Doesn't support other movie rental services like amazon prime free movies.
