My Apple TV

August 13, 2008 · Filed Under Apple TV · 2 Comments 

About two weeks ago I finally purchased an Apple TV! Yes, I finally did it! I am excited about the Apple TV and the possibilities it has to manage and expand the way I view media. Possibly the only downfall to going with the Apple TV over the XBox 360 is being locked into iTunes for all my media. That is the biggest disadvantage of the Apple TV, iTunes! So, over the next few weeks I will chronicle moving my media to digital format and how I am adjusting to living in the closed box of iTunes. Say tuned!
