After squabbling over cable tv and how much it cost, with the new Apple TV coming out, and the cheap price, I bit the bullet and bought the new Apple TV. Not sure when it's gonna arrive (I don't think it's shipping yet) but we are gonna replace cable with Netflix, which we are in a trial period on. It's a viable alternative, and costs 1/10th the cost of digital cable, and even has HD programming. Much better than having to pay for digital cable, and then more for HD channels (stupid cox communications). or even getting basic cable, they want $15/mo on top of the cable tv service for a box that would give us HD channels of the local air waves, and don't even include all of the local stations (like IPTV and NETV, both are public TV stations that is viewer funded)
So I hope we will be happy. For those interested in the final cost, shipped with free shipping, the total came out to $105.93 with tax for Omaha NE.
I got my unused Mac Mini setup right now to our HDTV so we can watch it, and I control it through my Powerbook G4 w/ OS 10.5.
Works great too. full HD programming and I got access to a ton of stuff, including some of the latest movies and even old TV programs I used to watch as a kid. I mean, c'mon, they got Howdy Doody! that's old stuff, and they got it!
I will let you know when it comes. I just got an email that it will be here on Oct. 14th. So it will be cool to hook up
