Cut down...
wright_is 8th Sep 2010
I looked at the new Apple TV and, as an owner of the old Apple TV, I turned off at the point of no local storage.

I like that I can use my Apple TV to watch a film or listen to my music, without having to go down into the cellar and start up my computer.

Given that broadband isn't capable of streaming SD video, let alone HD, especially when the kids are looking at YouTube on their computers, streaming rentals doesn't really entice me, I'd rather buy and download them to the local drive and watch them at leisure.

The new Apple TV seems to just be a cut down version of the old one... Not something I'd rush out to buy.
