Hi John, Actually, my Apple TV arrived today after all and it just seems that my Parcel app was very slow at updating the UPS delivery status although I have a feeling it might be the fault of UPS because even when I went to their website it seems like some updates were missing. Anyhow, my wife and I set it up tonight and I downloaded YouTube and Netflix right away and then a few other apps. I very much like it and don't find the typing much more of a pain as when the letters were arranged in several rows. Of course I also hope that Bluetooth keyboard support comes back. Setup went well, it recognized my iPhone and automatically connected to my WiFi using credentials from my iPhone and all I had to do is enter my Apple Id password and of course my Netflix sign-in info and that for YouTube. YouTube required me to go to YouTube.com/activate on my computer, I had to sign in with my gmail account and then enter a code which was displayed on the Apple TV in order to allow the YouTube app on the Apple TV. I found an app for CBC News (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) and it is quite nice and gives me access to some of the CBC programs, I also found a few apps which allow you to watch old classic movies which are now in the public domain and also one app from the Canadian National Film Board. Anyhow, I love how fast and responsive it is, t's awesome that SIRI is available, I can turn on Voiceover by telling SIRI to do so and moving apps works great. The volume rocker also controls my Sonos Playbar volume without me having to do anything: "It just worked" and it's nice to see that this still does apply at least to some Apple products. I think in time when developer come up with more and more cool apps and maybe once Apple has deals with major content providers for movies and TV shows, this will be a real fantastic device. Oh, I also went to "Computers" after I opened iTunes on my laptop, I was asked if I want to turn on home sharing with my Apple Id and after I said Yes and entered my Apple Id password one more time the content of my iTunes library was fully accessible.
