- Good points:
- A great product, when you need a night in but there is nothing on the tv, you can instantly download a film or tv show that's available on dvd (we haven't come across one they haven't had yet). The downloads are available to watch within seconds. The quality is incredible.
- Bad points:
- It would be good to be able to download tv programmes that are available online through bbc iplayer etc for free. Apple TV seems to only stock shows that you have to pay for. You can watch film and cinema trailers which is great, but it would be useful to know when they are available to download on dvd.

- Good points:
- Great Features - brilliant when working !!
- Bad points:
-
I tunes sync does not always work easily - user guide very poor - where is the more detailed on line guide ? Have to work things out for yourself. No clear instructions on how to copy across videos.
Why have you asked a question about battery life when the Apple TV is mains powered ? Lack of attention to detail.
Would be good if the AppleTV could be used for streaming video from laptop or PC from apps like BBC i-player - this would make it complete !!

HD films. TV programmes. HD podcasts. It’s all here.
