And where are the Apps stored on the new Apple TV?
It has no internal storage, it streams content only.
Well, how do you think iOS gets put on the device? There is some flash storage onboard. The question is how much.

The internet isn't a problem for me (I have gigabit ethernet going to a FIOS router with 25mbps internet). And I'm pretty sure component = RGB.
My TV has HDMI but I don't have the cable and the HDMI port broke somehow on it. We just got a new TV actually, but we still don't have the cable until I can find it.
And how is component better than RCA? I don't think there is a significant difference in quality, and everyone I know who has ever used RGB has ended up having one of the cables or ports not working (including my old TV which had non-working RGB ports). Not to mention I'm kinda short on those cables which I use for many other things.
Ooh, but wait, my new TV has composite input that I assume works. Finally! Now I just have to set it upif I have enough cables

Why no backwards compatibility???
What am I susposed to do with my old Apple TV when the app store launches?
There should be a version of IOS for existing (and more expensive) apple TVs
No App Store for Apple TV as no where to store the Apps, no hard drive or internal storage!
A jailbreak would make the AppleTV worthwhile for me![]()
Really?
Component (RGB) = capable of HD
RCA (yellow only) = SD only
Well you just opened yourself up for a tirade of explanations. Only one piece of advise for you:
1. Get an HDMI cable.
Period. You should never even have bought the AppleTV without having a HDMI cable to use. Its pointless without it.
Wow RGB better than RCA? So many things wrong with that statement.
First, you mean Component, not RGB. Since Component is capable of HD video and RCA cables are not (they only do low resolution video), that is clearly much better and your statement is false.
Also, you couldn't have been more wrong with calling it RGB. Component videos actually use YPbPr color space, not RGB, it's basically a completely different method of pulling color data and should never be mixed up. The closest thing that actually uses the RGB color space is VGA cables, which actually use that as a signal. Similarly the less common SCART cables also use VGA signaling.
YPbPr != RGB
Though you probably just called it RGB because that is the color of the cables. Shows how you have no clue what you are talking about. If you are going to complain about the Apple TV's faults, at least have some basic knowledge of what video technology is.
Sigh.. why am I even bothering, you are just going to post something else that is equally clueless.

There are many ways to force the HDD basedTV to output color over composite. Some are software-based others are not. http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/Composite

Component can carry 720p and 1080i. What do you mean?No, component is not HD, at least in my terms (720p or better)
