I read November 4 according to Mac Daily News. But that's for Best Buy
collection and delivery.

Yes, I somehow thought I had a third gen which is why I initially said it was
no longer there, but my wife checked the model number nad it's definitely a
second gen. I was planning all along to upgrade when the new Apple TV came out
and I placed my order on Monday. Not sure when you guys get it in the States,
here in Canada it said something about November 10.

Hi Sieghard, I have both a second and third gen of the Apple TV and can confirm
that YouTube no longer is available on the second gen, only on the third gen.
It was there at one time but as you said, Apple removed it with one of their
updates.
Best regards,

Subject: RE: New Apple TV In The Apple Store
Hi,
OK, so I checked into this Youtube thing a bit more and on second generation
Apple TV they are definitely gone, anybody who claims otherwise probably has a
third generation Apple TV. I also found out that the third generation Apple TV
which was originally released in March of 2012 had a small update (not sure
what that was) and a Revision A was released in January of 2013. It appears
that Youtube is still available on the third generation Apple TV and I thought
that is what I had, but apparently I have only a second generation Apple TV. I
sort of remembered this now because when the third generation Apple TV came out
I was debating whether I should buy one, but I believe one of the few
improvements was that it can stream in 1280P whereas the second gen can only do
720P and to me that was not very important. Anybody who wants to check, here
are the actual model numbers which would tell you exactly which one you have
including the first generation Apple TV which came out in 2007 and
was available with a 40 Gb or 160 Gb hard drive and which probably not too many
people have any more.

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

Primarily it is the SIRI capable remote and the fact that the new Apple TV has
access to its own app store.
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.

Sieghard

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.

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?

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.
