New Apple TV Offers 8 GB of Internal Storage, 256 MB RAM

Directv's 1080p content is very low bitrate. Apple's 720p HD looks better than Directv's 1080p. I know because I have tried both.

Please don't compare that low bitrate itunes garbage with anything 1080p.

8 GIG of storage is a lot. I also understand it has a spot where more storage could be added, is that true?

If you're a dab hand with a soldering iron and can source the flash chips, then yeah. Unfortunately, it's not something that is user replaceable...

I am calm. Why do you keep asking to be calm ? A tantrum ? Next you'll be telling us you're a master at detecting sarcasm in written posts ? Maybe you're stressing out over this, but if you would read and understand my posts, you'd know that there's nothing for you to even argue here.

You say 720p is fine. That's perfect! A 1080p output capable AppleTV does not impact you since it plays 720p perfectly.



I know it's "hugely" significant, I didn't say it wasn't. I questionned the 54 Mbps number. That number in particular, not any kind of bitrate.

You should really work on your reading comprehension. First you come in with downloads, then downloads again and now this. You turn "Where did 54 Mbps come from ?" into "Bitrates are insignificant...".

Seriously. Either read and understand my posts or don't respond. And stop feeling threatened because someone questions Apple's decision.

This guy sure likes to argue.

Tell me about it.

I can't help but picture him as Woody Allen...

Currently I watch TV shows and movies in 1080P, via DirecTV. I apparently am not Apple's target, since why would I switch from the 1080P content I enjoy now to renting content only in 720P?

you do know that the only 1080p on direct tv is the movies on ppv, right? Regular programming is 720p/1080i depending on the channel.

Yeah good catch. I still prefer 1080i to 720p though.
