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>

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.

If you didn't explore the page, check out the link that Barry posted
earlier. It contains a flash video that has a demo of someone using
voiceover on the Apple TV. Hit the play button, it's about 2 minutes
in length.

I've got one.

Apple TV isn't a television set. It's a tiny little box which can sit

in 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
a

few hours surfing through iTunes rental store, watching preview clips

and also watching clips on YouTube. For some reason I dug out lots of

old 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 and

others would come to this platform because it is beautifully
accessible.
But I can't see it happening with Apple's rather protectionist walled

garden 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.

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
at

current price.

Barry,

Looks interesting, yes.  Any ideas when it is available here and what

size the TV is?
