Well, at least we can get the hardware over and done with quickly. The latest Apple TV looks exactly like the old one, and it's innards aren't really any different either. Box steady: no change to the look, little to the spec For the record, there's an...
I like the Apple TV: the UI is easy to navigate and, if retrograde, nonetheless paves the way for apps; the remote is excellent; it's responsive, and playback is good; and the box itself is compact and doesn't need a power brick. It is one elegant, co...

The design is Identical to the previous version of Apple TV, but the third-generation box has a new interface, and new specs - namely support for 1080p - but is it worth the upgrade, or for people yet to get one, the purchase? We've been living with t...

Although the previous Apple TV was pretty slick to use, its lowly 720p output counted against it. For the 2012 new Apple TV, things have changed and it's now a Full HD 1080p video streamer. What hasn't changed is the Apple TV's incredibly small dimensi...
Works brilliantly and smoothly with online movies and TV programmes, while AirPlay makes it at home on an Apple network. The limited file support and lack of UPnP support is still a little disappointing, though...

There is a lot to like about the third-gen Apple TV. It's well-built and easy to use. But it offers access to a limited range of content; the Apple TV - at least in the UK - still doesn't offer the variety of content offered by much of the competition. Pl...
