Simultaneously with the launch of the new Apple iPod the specialists announced the new TV. It is small, black, smart and surprisingly not expensive at all. The fact that it's small and elegant represents a huge advantage. Apple TV was firstly introduced in 2006. Perhaps then the media player market was pretty nonexistent.
Apple learned that I have to make small and useful things, nobody wants a big box in their living room. Therefore, the new Apple TV is 4 times smaller than the old one, so small it fits the palm of an adult. In what concerns the TV connectivity chapter it does not have numerous distinctive features. We have classic HDMI, USB micro site for the service, 10/100 LAN and Wi-Fi a / b / g or n. Do not miss any optical audio port or infrared receiver to be remote. Apple TV knows how to play the HD video processor and the Apple animated A4.
Furthermore, you can watch the video / audio / photo from your computer in the TV. No graphical interface is the same, they changed it with an interactive one that has attracted attention. However, the most interesting aspect is its price. Before, Apple TV cost $ 230, now it costs only $ 100. It's not expensive, am I right?
Immediately after the launch of Apple TV's, many have seen beyond the appearances of a media center, and worked hard to run other applications besides Front Row software on Apple devices. Those posting on Tutorial Ninjas have recently give a step-by-step dismantling of Apple TV and crossing the boundaries of Apple led to other programs not running properly.
Of course, being started, the tutorial is very long and complex and it involves many technical skills. But after this process they have managed to install and run other programs than those from Apple, some examples are Firefox and even the popular MMORPG World of Warcraft. Also do not forget the Apple TV's real purpose, namely to play movies and have installed some video players, most notably VLC and after some changes and were able to run DivX and WMV. Although this tutorial has made different people express their different opinions, its complexity makes it quite inaccessible to most users, but the good news is for those who are working on a much simpler version, which involves only the introduction of a memory stick.
With the Apple TV interface, you can quickly and easily navigate through the entire collection of digital media, even when you're on the other side of the room using the Apple Remote, a simple remote control that can be used intuitively. Apple TV easily connects to almost any modern TV, this being another advantageous aspect that we must consider when it comes to the Apple TV, to its features and the way in which we can benefit from using it these days.
