Macworld also notes that Apple has added support for subtitles in Netflix and three new slideshow themes: Photo Wall, Flip-up, and Shifting Tiles.

if only they'd allow streaming from an AppleTV to an Airport Express...then I'd upgrade from my orig AppleTV
When are we getting apps? I want to get rid of my Roku...give me HuluPlus!
Awesome that they have hockey now...maybe the NFL will get their act together...

One step closer to an app store
I completely agree. This is just a "beta" or "alpha" for them testing out apps.
Woah
Someone is Cupertino is flipping a lot of switches today.
Photo Stream right to AppleTV will be really cool.

NFL seems to be impossible, uh. I think it is better than Basketball, Baseball, and Hockey combined.
Good update though.

What need will you have for an app store when you can wirelessly mirror your phone to the TV at any time? All your apps are already on the TV! (well, the ones that allow mirroring anyway, haha).
Hi there!
Is this just another step toward the long rumoured full blown Apple television monitor and audio system?

I agree. I can't believe there still isn't a Hulu+ app for AppleTV. It's a huge service, and I guarantee you that a lot more people watch Hulu+ than watch the NHL, or care about stock info from the Journal.
I hate having to use my PS3 and Xbox for Hulu+. The PS3 is horribly laggy and cannot properly buffer a stream. The Xbox streams wonderfully, but the interface is awful (the queue is sorted OLDEST first with no way to swap and see the newest content, forcing you to scroll through 25-item chunks to get to the very end of the list where the new shows are).
I just want a nice slick Hulu+ app for the AppleTV to simplify things like it does for Netflix.
Anyone know how the new NHL feature works? Do you have to have GameCenter Live? I went to Apple's support page, but it hasn't been updated yet.....
Not a surprising comment coming from someone from Florida (no offense, Florida just isn't a big hockey state). It's too bad, too, because you have a very solid, exciting young team in the Tampa Bay Lightning. You should consider giving hockey a chance... you might be surprised.
The addition of NHL GameCenter Live is awesome for me. I recently purchased the season package, and had been streaming live from my iPad 2, which works pretty well. It's a battery killer, though, so this will be a huge improvement.
• freedom from the Mac (meaning, no need to have a Mac on to watch my library) Add some external hard drive support over a network. Like connecting an external drive with my media to an AEBS or something.
• app store
• 1080p
That would be a huge upgrade!

Apple TV 2 is only $99...a Mac Mini is way more...and makes more more noise..
