While the content is a little expensive, the Apple TV now accounts for ALL my TV show watching (no ads, HD, replaces my DVR completely) and most casual movie nights (along with Netflix streaming). The ability to synch with itunes is very slick as it

From: Reviewed by: CairoDon Posted: Oct 26, 2009 Type: User Review "Beware Apple TV!"

Beware -- make sure your Apple TV works perfectly before the return period is up, because after that you are out of luck. Apple does not stand behind this product. In my experience, it is not ready for release to ordinary consumers. My Apple TV woul

PROS: Easy to set up Features (in theory) Nice Remote
CONS: Never synched with iTunes. Customer support poor to only acceptable Apple would not stand behind the product -- it would not work in my apartment, despite hours of customer support -- and they would not agree to a refund.
