Actually Youtube is still available and working to my knowledge on the third generation, now entry level, model.

I also would assume that eventually there will be new content which may not be 
available on the third gen Apple TV. One example already is Youtube. As of a 
few months ago the Youtube app is gone from the old Apple TV and while you 
could still watch Youtube on your TV via the Apple TV by playing it on your iOS 
device and sending it to the Apple TV using Airplay, it is nice to just sit on 
the couch and check out Youtube content on the Apple TV. For me that alone is 
almost worth it and combining it with having access to voice control via SIRI 
and an app store which has huge potential means I just ordered my new Apple TV 
from the Canadian online Apple Store using the Apple Store app.

For once Apple is not price gouging like they are doing with the iPhone 6S and 
6S Plus on contract. The 64 Gb Apple TV which is $199 US is $269 canadian and 
at 30% more that is right in line and actually maybe a few percent better than 
the current exchange rate.

If you go for the 32 Gb option for $149, it’s only an extra $80 more than the 
third gen Apple TV and if you are a first time buyer I think it’s a no-brainer.

boy they need to add a lot for the difference in price. You can get an Apple TV 
3 for $69 and it offers lots of content. More than I have time to use 
personally and I have no problem with the included remote or with the remote 
app on the IPhone. It will be interesting to see what the added features are.

Thanks for the info.

When I get mine, I will let everyone know what it comes with. I don’t think 
they are saying what you actually get on it right now.

Hello I too am interested in the apple tv and have been researching. I want to 
get rid of my cable as well because the price is just too much for what it 
offers. Where can I find out what is available on apple tv? Should I just 
google it?

Thanks

I would look up Apple TV on the internet and see what the advantages of having one 
are. I cut cable a long time ago, because many of the channels that cable offers 
are things I just don’t watch. With Apple TV, I pay for a NetFlix subscription and 
a Hulu+ subscription and get a lot of content just with those too. I enjoy other 
applications as well, such as Lifetime, A&E, YouTube, ABC, NBC, CBS, etc. There 
is so much available, on the 2nd generation alone there are 71 apps, not counting 
all the content you can access through the iTunes store,  and the new generation is 
supposed to have so much more. I am looking forward to Voice Recognition and 
playing around with Siri. I would rather have a Roku as Roku offers tons and tons 
and tons of channels, but the Roku has no VoiceOver or any other speech which makes 
it toally useless for a blind person. Apple TV, with VoiceOver enabled, is a great 
set top box for a blind individual. I can’t wait to see what all the new version 
does offer

Besides the easy way to look at the menus, can't one just get all those 
channels through their normal television sets?

I know this isn't in all states and countries, but some cable companies are now 
having accessible ways to use menus through the television set itself.

Got to see it in action when I went to visit family a few weeks ago.

Just trying to see the difference.

I mean also besides the menus, the person can listen to music and do pictures, 
but well, streaming pictures through my television set won't work.

Just some curious questions.

Never seen an apple TV in action, and for me, it just seems like just one more 
thing to hook up to your television.

It's an honest mistake.  When people hear about Apple TV, Google TV, or Android 
TV, they picture a big screen television with special features.  While a Google 
TV needs its own explanation, an Apple TV is a small network media player that 
can stream both from your home computers and from online.

Apple TV is a small device ( similar in size and appearance to the Roku Box or 
Amazon FireTV) that uses an HDMI cable to connect to your television.

It also uses Wifi (or Ethernet) to connect to your home network and the 
internet.

The purpose of Apple TV is to provide users with the ability to stream media, 
such as photos, movies and music from iPhones, the iTunes store, or from other 
partners like Netflix, HuluPlus, and more recently HBOGO or HBONow, to enjoy on 
your TV and home theater audio system.

The Apple TV has VoiceOver on it so blind people are able to navigate the 
device and play all provided content. I have had an Apple TV for several years 
now and I am able to use it without any sighted assistance with the use of the 
VoiceOver feature. The new Apple TV is supposed to be so much better than the 
one I have, which is the 2nd generation.
