Additional Apple TV models coming?

Apple Store“Thanks to a keen-eyed Apple fanboy, rumors of new Apple TVs are starting to spread. Why? Well, it appears that the Apple TV ‘Buy Me’ page has a “‘Select Your Apple TV’ option up top. That option is only used when the product has various models…,” Gizmodo reports via Apple TV Hacks.

Gizmodo writes, “Apple is gonna have new Apple TVs regardless of any Web mistakes, no doubt. The real question is how will it trump the current model? Bigger hard drive? Support for additional video formats? Those would be my two requests.”

    People who ask for a DVR have no understanding of the Apple TV product.

    What else are you going to wish for Apple TV, 4 radial tires?

    Come on man, radial is sooo last week. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />

    Ummm… that sounds like a car buying a person instead of the other way around. If people want DVR in a product, then that’s what they want.

    I understand Apple TV just fine. I’d like it with DVR & support for VLC which seems to play everything Quicktime can plus those it can’t.

    I go this route with my SD TV (non-HD). On my MBP, I play videos with VLC. It supports more formats than QT Player, allows full-screen on a second/spanned monitor (the S-Video Out), allows for aspect-ration adjustment, and much more.

    Poor man’s Apple TV for $170 less but more control and file compatibility…

  4. IF this is true, I want the box to have a DVR capability and the ability to play regular DVDs. I want the former really bad, and I’m going to be living with the latter for a really long time, so anything I buy from Apple for my living room is gonna have to accomodate both. After that, Apple can do all the streaming & iTunes tying that they want. Before that, I won’t be buying.

    Normally I don’t believe in being a spelling Nazi, but when someone as stupid as you obviously are accuses someone else of being a dickhead, I am obliged to call you out (especially since you have falsely used my name).

    That would be “you’re a dickhead”, not “your a dickhead”, you dickhead.

    What a maroon.

  6. So far I see no compelling reason to get an Apple TV. At 2.5 times the price I have a DVD player , a DVR via El-Gato Eye TV and when Apple starts shipping Bluray Super drives I’ll probably opt for an upgrade. I regularly look at and record HDTV content from off air broadcast from my buildings antenna. I upgraded the buildings wiring with drop amps rather than standard splitters so that weaker HD signals are not shunted by the rather high resistance per foot of the older building wiring. I stream my Itunes library from my mac book to the Mini. Some may ask why I keep my library on my mac book…well I don’t always fly Jet Blue and even then sometimes I prefer my own content. I saw the Apple TV demonstration at the Roosevelt Field Mall. It looked fantastic. Those who say they are having picture quality problems have to be doing something wrong.
