Your TV will thank you.
Don’t waste time with your TV. Spend quality time with it. Get Apple TV and you can watch what you want, when you want, without ever leaving your sofa. Buy a TV show with a single click. Watch YouTube videos. Even peruse your .Mac Web Gallery and Flickr photos. All on your widescreen TV. After all, why should your computer have all the fun?
Web content. Widescreen.
Apple TV puts lots of free content from the Internet on your widescreen TV. YouTube videos, podcasts — even stunning HD video podcasts. Not to mention your photos (and your friends’ photos) from Flickr or .Mac Web Galleries. They all appear on the biggest screen in the house, ready to share from the sofa.
Your content on TV.
Your computer is the centre of your digital life. Your TV is the centre of your entertainment life. But what if you want to play everything you’ve collected on your computer on your TV? Pair your computer with Apple TV and play the music and video from your iTunes library — plus your photo slideshows — on the box.
Films
Rent high-definition films with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound and standard-definition films from the same place you watch them: your sofa. Just click to rent and — if you have a fast broadband connection — start watching in less than a minute. Already have films on a computer paired with Apple TV? Select My Movies and play them on the big screen.
TV Programmes
Get TV programmes you love — without countless channels you don’t need. Buy commercial-free TV programmes directly from Apple TV and watch what you want, when you want. Browse hundreds of programmes, then click once to buy episodes for just £1.89 each. TV shows purchased on Apple TV automatically transfer to your computer, ready to sync to your iPod or iPhone. Or choose My TV Shows from Apple TV and watch episodes already stored on your computer.
Music Videos
You already listen to music. With Apple TV, you can watch it, too. Buy music videos starting at just £1.29 — they’ll even sync to your computer — or watch videos you’ve collected on your computer and see your favourite artists perform. In your living room. No tickets required.
YouTube
Watch YouTube videos in a whole new way: on your widescreen TV. Enjoy thousands of free videos, including the top featured, most viewed and top rated. Thousands of new videos arrive every day, so there’s always something cool to see.
Music
If the best sound system in your house is connected to your TV, why play your iTunes library anywhere else? My Music lets you play up to 36,000 songs from your computer on the big screen (and the big speakers). You can build your library from Apple TV, too: browse more than 6 million songs, listen to a free preview, then click to buy. It’s like visiting a music superstore. From your sofa. And any music you buy from Apple TV automatically syncs to your computer, so you can transfer it to your iPod or iPhone.
Podcasts
Thanks to Apple TV, you can browse and watch free podcasts — including HD podcasts — right on your widescreen TV. You can even access podcasts you’ve already subscribed to on your computer. With so many podcasts to choose from, you’re bound to find something to pique your interest.
Photos
Apple TV frees your photos from the tiny confines of your computer screen and puts them on your widescreen TV — larger than life and ready to share. Access your Flickr photos or .Mac Web Gallery with a click of the Apple TV remote. Or select My Photos to browse the photo collection on your Mac or PC.
Settings
From the Settings menu, you can set parental controls that limit what your children can buy on Apple TV. Or set up your screensaver, your network, your TV resolution and more.
