Apple TV Unboxing Photos (and Video)

[Jim Campbell]

What is interesting is that I have been burning some of these eyetv programs to DVD and watching them and they look fine. Going to do some direct comparisons this weekend.

Minor follow-up because I was away from home for the previous post ... It's the de-interlace settings that are probably giving you the quality problems if the raw data is playing back fine elsewhere. I genuinely can't advise which setting will work best for you cause it's so subjective, but I really think that this is where you'll find the biggest improvement.

Cheers!

They have the aTV in the Toronto eaton centre apple store.

I was quite surprised in how hot they were.

Yeah, mines pretty hot. But unlike my TiVo, the Apple TV's pretty much dead silent.

i saw the tv at the store today. I wasn't impressed with the image quality.

Okay, I'm a bit disappointed. Sure we have seen unboxing photos; you might even say to ad nauseum. But that's not enough granularity - no one has posted a 30-40 photo series of themselves just pushing the "on" button. C'mon people! A good digital camera is capable of 2-3 frames per second!

update concerning my Eyetv picture quality

After changing eyetv to record in highest quality mode, playing with the de-interlacing setting, and putting a cable signal amplifier just before eyetv my recordings are much improved and very watchable.

Now I can go back to just enjoying my Apple tv. Thanks to Jim and others who commented.
