Cameltosis Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Long story short I won one of these through my work. I can either decline it or accept it and pay the taxes. Its not a terriblty expesnive item so I am not worried about the taxes, but I have no idea what this thing does. Does it just allow me to play movies and music from iTunes through my TV? I can already do this with a DVI to HDMI cable, I think. Does it record TV shows like my DVR does? Anyone have one or know what it does?

Cameltosis Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Accept it, sell it on ebay and buy hookers and blow. For $200 I dont think I can get both. Tough choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonorator Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 appletv would only recommend if you are a mac-based household. don't have one, but friends that do like it for what it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am. And I read about some of what it does but I am still not sure I get it. Does it do anything besides stream movies and music from your computer to your TV? I already have an Airport Express to play my iTunes through my receiver and I can already watch movies through my PS3 using Netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_bone65 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 For $200 I dont think I can get both. Tough choice. The hooker wouldn't be top notch and the blow would have more footprints then a SOCAL beach on a sunny day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 The hooker wouldn't be top notch and the blow would have more footprints then a SOCAL beach on a sunny day *depends how much blow you request I'd go with the blow, but the deal killer for me would be having to go to post office and mail the ebay winner his apple tv.

twiley Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Apple TV ranked as one of the top tech duds in one of these threads. Sell it and buy some blow then go out and pick up a ditz that will do you for free cuz you have blow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
