Description

Design. Apple TV, streamlined.

Our most entertaining design yet.
The sleek new Apple TV has been completely retuned for your entertainment. It's 80 per cent smaller than the previous generation -- even with a built-in power supply. Which makes it perfect for sitting neatly on a widescreen TV stand or squeezing into a crowded media cabinet. Not only does the new Apple TV have an amazingly small footprint, it's also incredibly energy efficient. It stays cool without a fan, so it's never noisy. And when it's not filling your living room with drama, romance and comedy, it uses less power than a night light.

All streaming. No hassle.
Everything you want to watch -- films, TV programmes, photos and more -- streams wirelessly to Apple TV. That way you don't have to worry about managing storage or syncing to your iTunes library. HD film rentals play over the Internet to your widescreen TV, while music, photos and TV programmes stream from your computer. Either way, all you have to do is click and play. Since Apple TV features a powerful A4 processor, it streams everything effortlessly, without frozen screens or stutters. Video looks crisp and clear. And just like watching a DVD, you can fast-forward through opening credits, pause for a popcorn break or replay a hilarious scene until you memorise every line.

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, that's all you need. Well, that and a comfy sofa.

  • Put more HD on your HDTV

    HD movies. HD TV shows. HD podcasts. With Apple TV, they're all on demand. You get instant access to newly released Hollywood hits and popular classic and library titles, including the largest selection of on-demand HD movies. And you can also purchase and watch your favorite TV shows in brilliant HD one day after they air.
  • Play your music through your home theater system

    With Apple TV, iTunes syncs wirelessly to your TV, so all the music you've collected can now be played on the best speakers in your house. The Genius feature studies your iTunes library to automatically create a playlist of songs that go great together. You can also browse and buy music videos on the iTunes Store. And sync songs and videos purchased on Apple TV to your computer and iPod or iPhone.
  • Now appearing on HDTV: your photos. YouTube videos, and podcasts, too

    Your photos deserve a bigger stage. And Apple TV puts them on your widescreen TV, where everybody can see them in stunning high definition. Select My Photos to browse photos that are on your Mac or PC. You can also access your Flickr or MobileMe galleries. And you no longer have to gather around a computer screen to see YouTube videos and podcasts - Apple TV plays them big and bold on your TV's spectacular screen.
