    To AppleTv or Not?
    Apr/08/07 06:24 PM |Apple
    So now that the AppleTV has been out for what a few weeks it's time to ask the question. Should I get an AppleTV or wait for a RevB? I've been interested in this piece hardware since Steve Jobs first introduced it and told us we'd have to wait another 6 months before it's release. I've been reading up on the hacks and updates and so forth for the AppleTV which pretty much people have found some way or another to do anything the AppleTV was not set up to do out of the box.

    Here's my predicament, I have a MacMini hooked up to my widescreen television and a little apple remote. This little set up works fine for me. I can download off of iTunes and rip my DVD's with Handbrake for all my hard drive viewing pleasure. I set up wirelessly so I can watch shows or movies from my other mac computer without much problem. Mind you the streaming is a little messy when viewing a movie but otherwise it works fairly well. When it comes to photos is my real problem. I've got all of my photos on my iMac G5 in my bedroom/office and it is a real nightmare to stream those onto the MacMini for viewing through Front Row. It just doesn't work very well at all. So I guess my main use for an AppleTV with its current features is for the photos. Is it really worth it or should I just wait and move my photos over time to my MacMini with its limited hard drive.
