Apple TV

Apple TV PVR While I've yet to make the purchase, the simplicity of the new Apple TV from Apple is pure Apple genius. Based on the numerous store demos that I've forced my kids to sit through already it really does appear to work as easily as the marketing folks say. Whether I'll be able to get it to show any of my favourite programs sittong on my PC is another story.

At $449.00 it's not cheap and like many Apple products you're not likely to find it sold at a discount. But if you have TV or other media on your computer and would rather watch it on your TV rather than your PC then the Apple TV looks like the new gadget just for you.

Any time is prime time
Now there's always something good on TV. With Apple TV, you can enjoy home movies, music, and podcasts in your iTunes library, plus photos and movie trailers, on your widescreen TV — wirelessly, from your Mac or PC.

Download
Ready to be entertained? Any time day or night, simply download what you want to watch or listen to from among millions of choices on the iTunes Store. Then let Apple TV do the rest.

Sync
Apple TV automatically grabs the digital media on your computer and makes it available for you to enjoy on your TV. Best of all, whenever you add something new in iTunes, Apple TV updates automatically.

Watch
Thanks to the intuitive interface, finding what you want to watch is as easy as navigating a few simple menu items using the included Apple Remote. Just a few clicks and you'll be enjoying all your favorites from the comfort of your couch.
