Mac Forum / Country Specific / Australian Mac Group / January 2008AppleTV
Does anyone is Oz actually own or use on of these? With the new features released yesterday folks seem to be excited about. Lets see - movie rentals - US- based and completely useless here. Hell you still cant buy TV shows or movies at the Australia iTunes store. Are the studios surprised at all the peer-to-peer file sharing?? (enjoyed the recent BBC Dr Who Xmas special which the ABC say will not air here for 18 months). OK got off track here. Personally I want a box that replaces all those machines sitting next to my TV now - add a DVD player (may as well be BluRay), DVR (and I don't need or use an electronic programming guide now - just a great way to time shift really), and Digital tuner. That I would buy. Maybe there is a device like that already (please don't tell me its windoz media centre - don't think Ill find BlueRay there :) Nigel > Does anyone is Oz actually own or use on of these?

Some people buy it to hack (installing a full version of OS X on it) which seems about it's only useful role in Australia. > Personally I want a box that replaces all those machines sitting next to my > TV now - add a DVD player (may as well be BluRay), DVR (and I don't need or > use an electronic programming guide now - just a great way to time shift > really), and Digital tuner.

You can also buy a separate module (from a third party supplier) to allow it to mount/access Mac volumes (presumably via AFP). Dale  Signaturedstanbro@spam.o.matic.bigpond.net.au |
