Agreed. For example the Now TV subscriptions are way, way, cheaper than the Sky TV packages which contain over half the channels I wouldn't even watch anyway.

Yes but most will be billed to your iTunes account. So as long as you
keep up with your credit, i.e. iTunes account balances, if you prefer to
buy this way of course, then all should be fine.

Yeah, but the question is this:

How much in monthly charges are you going to have to pay per package you
want to watch on apple TV?

Such as netflix, HBO and what other channels that might come out?

Won't any new apps for apple TV might want to charge for their services?



Don't you have to pay for those individually?

But this one will have it's own app store and a lot more content, and an
advanced remote, the price is a bit high but it will pay for itself in the
long run.

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.

value does it have for blind users?
