i don't see why i'd spend 300US on this, seriously, what exactly does it do, most of my vidoes on my Mac are not great quality, why would i watch them on a TV??
i don't see the point in this iTV thing.

ok seriously there are like 100 posts a day on here about iTV. you have been a member since nov. take literally 15 seconds and look in the forum, as the post above me illustrated there are many threads already going. sorry if a bit harsh, but seriously no need for another thread of this nature.i don't see why i'd spend 300US on this, seriously, what exactly does it do, most of my vidoes on my Mac are not great quality, why would i watch them on a TV??

nobody has answered that yet.. all they've don was send me links with pics or rumours on what it does.
"why would i want to stream my videos from Mac to TV because most videos you have on your Mac are not the greatest quality, so why would i spend 350Canadian on this thing...???"
We are trying to help you.
You would want to stream your videos from your Mac to your TV because then you could watch/listen/view any media on your Mac. Nothing else can do this yet. Instead of having a separate computer, the iTV just needs a Mac to connect with. You could buy a new computer, but they cost more.

i've looked but i'm asking a specific question...

you are great dude. you always have a sharp wry answer.Because when you come home from a long day at work, I'm sure you enjoy plopping down into your office chair and have a glass of wine while you watch your media on your relatively small-screened Mac. Personally, I'd prefer to come home, plop down on my plush couch, and stream my media from my Mac to my 50" plasma....but that's just me.

When you're around as long as I've been and you see all the newbie questions over and over and over again who, in addition, don't know what a "search" function is for...you too can be as grouchy and wry as myself.

Honestly, I dont see what is so great and innovative iTV is either. I wont be plopping down any money this device. Seems like another novelty item to me.
Seriously music streamers in the UK cost about £300, this is going to be less than £200 and it does video and photos too.
Why does this thread remind me of this thread?

ok now to be honest here you did not ask the question you have listed in your second post when you first posted, as you can see. so perhaps next time if you want the answer you are now looking for simply ask it so you don't get a thread link as an answer questions like your first one posed.
I mean seriously... wow... music, video, and photos on my TV? Microsoft has been doing it since 2004. I dont see why people are so hyped about it. Obviously nobody knows the possibilities with Windows Media Center...
But these movies made for your computer are going to look rather crap on a 50" Plasma. Having it 50" diagonally would only accentuate it's crapness.
I can see streaming videos being OK for standard definition TV though. Most people still have these types of TVs, so the images will still look OK and/or not too small.
