Waiting for this before buying the 'yet another Apple TV'.
Per Appletvhacks.com, it doesn't even work for the aTV2.Like anything apple does down the road, something will get unlocked later. I'm needing another one but not until I can get the newer one.
BTW, does the new jail break that just came out, will it work on the apple tv3?

Yeah. I expect them to unlock features down the road. Just turn on App store for ATV and bam, the A5X runs faster than the A5 on all these apps.
If they were going to enable A5X-only updates in the future they would have to make this a 'proper' update - i.e. pull all the old single core A5 models off the shelves and stock only the A5X model otherwise how can they describe which version you need - there would be no clean "January 2013 model" swap. Imagine if you bought your unit a few weeks after someone else but your model couldn't handle a new update...
one today and for a 720p movie will take over 2 hours before watching. Sucks. Am on DSL so should be allot faster. Pretty sure its apples slow servers.
Was considering waiting on getting the updated version but now am considering going another route. Getting a rented movie through the apple tv is seriously slow. Just tried to rent one today and for a 720p movie will take over 2 hours before watching. Sucks. Am on DSL so should be allot faster. Pretty sure its apples slow servers.
Anyone now of a real good, not buggy, system that doesn't require itunes or anything else to run on a computer to stream? Tried my xbox but that was worst. Can't believe someone hasn't come out with something to challenge the ATV. Hard to beat itunes ecosystem but wish there was something else.
What? Doesn't it start streaming immediately? not too sure about the 720p vs 1080 distinction. But it streams immediately for me.
I wonder if there be an event for this with more new features announcent?
There's a rumor of an event in March that will expand the number of content partners (think HBO Go) and maybe announce an AppleTV SDK.
It's already been refuted by more "reputable" sources. Front page talks about maybe this Fall now.
