Several MacRumors readers have noted that Apple has added a new "Apple Events" icon to the Apple TV, with the company revealing that it will be streaming today's media event live.

It is unclear if the video stream will be available through other means such as on apple.com, but Apple will presumably be updating its site with more information with more details if the stream will be available through multiple channels.

Apple has offered live video streams of its events several times in the past, but has not done so in several years until today. The most recent event for which Apple provided a live video stream prior to today was its "Back to the Mac" event in October 2010.

It sure would have been nice to watch it live on my MacBook. It's okay, I'll just grab the keynote from iTunes later on.

MacRumors will be a very interesting place today.

True as they say. Although I tried to watch one of the festival events 30 minutes after it started, it wouldn't play for me on either my ATV2 or ATV3. I had to wait a whole day before it would play.

That's odd because I managed to start watching one after it had started.

Get Ready for the New iTunes.

Looks like we just might get the new iTunes soon. Apple put up the "Get Ready for the new iTunes." blog post on Inside iTunes.

We don't know yet that it won't be available on apple.com or someplace else.

A few people seem to be getting miffed that its only on AppleTV. Apple has a few hours to announce live streaming on the web. For all we know the AppleTV update might take some time to go live on all devices. We still have over 5 hours to go. Keep calm and stop carrying on.

What a well thought out rational comment... Why you felt the need to post it here is beyond me...

 

[daveathall]

Is this just for the US? I wouldn't surprise me if it is...

I have just checked on my TV, the icon is there, not sure whether it will stream live though. (I'm in England)

Maybe we will finally get AppleTV app store?

Most of the people who post in the comments sections troll. Especially on any thread about Apple.

Hmm... using that logic a lot of the posters here could be considered trolls...

ie. if I someone disagrees with my stance, they are a troll?

Sometimes I wonder

For heaven sake stop farting about with AppleTV and give it proper apps please!

Some people are never happy, eh.

It just happened because it was open all morning until now

 

[D.T.]

Neat!

If anyone wants to come over and watch, I'm on the EST schedule for 1pm

 

[everything-i]

yup! I want my Safari app, so I can watch the porn channels for FREE!!

Whatever flips your switch I suppose.

This is sad. I don't own an Apple TV set-top box because I don't own a TV because I'm waiting for Apple TV with a screen.

I'm sure somebody with and appletv will have a live stream somewhere online. UStream or somewhere.

You might be waiting a while for that. It seems as if content providers are going to stand in the way of any new delivery system.

I have the original AppleTV. I wonder if the live stream will pop up in the Apple Keynotes section of Podcasts... Does anyone know? I might have to watch the UStream version linked in this thread. (Which works on your iphone - in case you can't watch on your AppleTV)

 

[S.B.G]

That's odd because I managed to start watching one after it had started.

It may have been an isolated occurrence because I never tried to watch any others except the one.

See ustream link in this thread but has a guy talking over it

 

[Thunderhawks]

does somebody know if it is possible to pause such live streams for some minutes on the apple TV ?

Plan your bladder control accordingly.

My Sister works in an Apple store in London. Content of the message she sent me this morning is "I think we don't have any 27" iMacs in stock ... TOP SECRET!!!"

 

[omenatarhuri]

A nice addition.

Great, another good reason to be happy about my Apple TV.
