you need an HDMI socket on your TV. I suppose that a scart to HDMI adaptor must exist somewhere though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "william lomas" <lomaswilliam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Do you need a HD tv? My tv has a sky box plugged in at the moment On Nov 23, 2010, at 6:50 PM, Damon Rose wrote:In the USA, you can get Netflix video on demand service that you can subscribe to for $9.99 per month. Also you can rent TV shows for 99 cents. In the UK you can do neither of these but you can watch YouTube, rent movies on iTunes and play content from your iPhone, iPod Touch or computer to your television set wirelessly via Apple TV. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of william lomas Sent: 23 November 2010 17:39 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Apple TV with Voice Over Support it good but it all US related stuff on it that you can get as damon says wish we could use UK services.

It contains a flash video that has a demo of someone using voiceover on the Apple TV.

Apple TV isn't a television set. It's a tiny little box which can sitin the palm of your hand. It connects to your TV with an HDMI cable. Note that it only has a digital audio out, not regular phono output. I did the voiceover update on my Apple TV gizmo last night and spent afew hours surfing through iTunes rental store, watching preview clipsand also watching clips on YouTube. For some reason I dug out lots ofold Tony Hancock clips. It was a nice user interface though there are some little bits where the data overwhelms you a little but that will come with usage. It is by far the most accessible set top box available. The only trouble is that there is very little to watch on it if you're in the UK. If you're in the US you also get Netflix which is a movies on demand service. It'd be nice to think that BBC iPlayer, ITV player, 4OD, LoveFilm andothers would come to this platform because it is beautifullyaccessible.But I can't see it happening with Apple's rather protectionist walledgarden approach to selling content. Note you can also stream iTunes from your computer, iPod Touch or iPhone using the new Airplay feature. So it could be a nice way of getting your music onto a digital amp hifi. ...Damon -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tristram Llewellyn Sent: 23 November 2010 15:41 To: 'access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [access-uk] Re: Apple TV with Voice Over Support The Apple TV is itself very small indeed, smaller than most set top boxes even. The VoiceOver demo is impressive. I have been toying with getting one but would have to look at pricing which is an important consideration as the box itself which is actually a steal atcurrent price. Regards.
