Apple TV gives you access to everything you want to see and hear — blockbuster films, your music and photos, even news and sport — all on your widescreen TV. And now with iCloud, your photos update automatically.
Overview
A lot of entertainment. In a very little box.
With Apple TV, everything you want to watch — films, some in 1080p, photo slideshows and more — plays wirelessly on your widescreen TV. No managing storage. No syncing to your iTunes library. HD films from iTunes play over the Internet on your HDTV, and music and photos stream from your computer. All you have to do is click and watch.
With iCloud and Photo Stream, your photos update automatically — no syncing, no sending.
Apple TV is quiet, energy efficient and so small it fits in the palm of your hand. Which makes it perfect for sitting neatly on a TV stand or squeezing into a crowded media cabinet. And when it’s not filling your living room with drama, romance and comedy, it uses less power than a night-light.
Silent, cool and small.

The Apple TV interface takes full advantage of your widescreen TV, making it clear and easy to find whatever entertainment you’re in the mood for.
Get connected with Apple TV.
Setting up Apple TV is about as simple as it gets. Just plug the power lead into the wall and connect Apple TV to your widescreen TV using an HDMI cable (sold separately). Since everything streams wirelessly to Apple TV using your Wi-Fi network, that’s all you need. Well, that and a comfy sofa.
Give your digital collection some airtime.
Home Sharing on your Apple TV makes sure those songs, photos and home videos don’t have to stay on your computer. For maximum entertainment, stream your digital collection over the air to your Apple TV. Just don’t forget to call dibs on the recliner.
Your HD films. Instant entertainment.
It puts the cinema in home cinema.
No more queueing to check out DVDs or watching stale blockbusters on cable. With Apple TV, you get instant access to the hottest Hollywood titles and new releases — often the same day they come out on DVD. Popular films are never out of stock, and you can rent as many as you want. That’s perfect for those spontaneous film nights (or afternoons or mornings). Search by top films, title or genre. Even read a quick film review, watch the trailer and check out the latest ratings from iTunes. Once you find what you’re looking for, simply press Play, and in seconds, you’re watching the opening credits with cinema-like Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound.1 SD rentals start from just €2.99, and HD rentals start from €3.99. You have 30 days to start watching, and once you begin, you can watch as many times as you want in 48 hours.
iCloud Your stuff lives here. So you can play it anywhere.

1,000 of your latest photos. As seen on TV.
Uploading all the photos from a summer holiday or a big event is as easy as doing nothing at all. With Photo Stream in iCloud, your most recent 1,000 photos automatically appear on all your devices — including Apple TV — no matter which device you used to take the picture. No syncing. No sending. Your photos are just there on your HDTV. For you, and everyone, to enjoy.
AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring.
What you see is what you show.
Your content. Large and in charge.
Not only can you stream music, photos and videos to Apple TV from your computer — but thanks to AirPlay, you can also stream it all from your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.4 So if you feel like watching a film you have on one of your devices, you don’t need to rent or buy it again. You can also stream a home video you just recorded or videos from websites and AirPlay-enabled apps. Simply tap to start playing content on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, then tap again to instantly stream whatever you’re watching — or listening to — directly to Apple TV.
And now with AirPlay Mirroring, you can wirelessly and securely show off everything you have on your iPhone and iPad. Like that amazing new app and your gaming skills (or lack thereof).
