The editors didn't like

  • Limited rental content on iTunes
  • Home Sharing requires single iTunes account
  • Initial setup still requires tedious text input
  • Both a boon and a faux pas
  • The Siri Remote is the most loved/reviled aspect of Apple's new plastic. By building in a microphone and half-baked Siri support
  • The Apple TV takes some serious steps forward on its march to the living room throne. But simulta
  • No TV shows. Streaming only option creates major flaws

  • Rentals are comparatively expensive

  • No 1080p HD
  • No hard disk for storing music or video
  • ITunes rentals in UK are more expensive than in the US
  • The new Apple TV doesn't currently offer the ability to rent and download TV programmes. This wouldn't be quite so bad if the feature wasn't offered on the previous generation Apple TV
  • Or across the pond where US users can download to their hearts content. Fingers crossed that Apple will fix this soon.
  • 160GB drive is paltry compared to other devices
  • Limited playback options (no DivX playback)

  • Abstract:  The 2nd generation Apple TV is completely different from the first model. The most obvious change is the size. The new Apple TV is just a tiny black box that's the same size as my wallet . It's also quite easy to set-up. All you have to do is to connect i...

  • El catálogo de iTunes Store es bastante amplio y ofrece varias películas en HD, Acceso rápido y cómodo a toda tu biblioteca multimedia desde la comodidad del sofá, Diseño diminuto, ligero y sobre todo silencioso, AirPlay
  • No soporta Full HD, El catálogo latinoamericano de iTunes Store no cuenta con series de TV, El sistema operativo aún parece bastante limitado, No se puede controlar el volumen desde el propio dispositivo
  • Hace sólo un mes cantábamos victoria por la llegada de la iTunes Store a Latinoamérica . "Ahora sí la experiencia está completa", dijimos, al comprobar la forma en que esta tienda digital, nuestro computador con iTunes y nuestro dispositivo iOS funcionan ...

  • Tamaño ultra compacto y acabado del equipo, en línea con el resto de productos de Apple, Facilidad de puesta en marcha y utilización, sobre todo para los que ya utilicen iTunes en su PC/Mac, El mando a distancia es mejor y más cómodo que el de la versión anterior
  • Limitación del puerto HDMI a 720p, Catálogo de peliculas aún limitado, sin series y con precios algo elevados, Echamos de menos no contar con alguna salida de vídeo/audio adicional para TV más antiguas, No poder comprar películas desde el Apple TV
