Apple TV Overall Satisfaction?

Hi gonzo80_19. You mentioned something about Apple TV being able to surf the internet in the future and I have been looking into an add-on I found. It is called aTV Flash and is supposed to open up multiple possibilities with the Apple TV (including surfing the internet) all while avoiding the forfeit of its warranty. I haven't tried it myself yet as I am still debating on whether or not to purchase and Apple TV also, but it is definitely attractive. Here is the link, hope it is what you were looking for.

I have had the ATV since it first came out.

I think Apple could do so much more - like the previous post you can buy ATV Flash which lets you surf the net and play other types of files, and I believe hook a drive up to the USB.

Converting to h264 is a bit of a pain but its great quality and efficient on space.

However I am frustrated with Apple as for me, Apple TV could do so much more - it should have Safari on it by now.

An aspect not mentioned in this thread so far is the audio capability of Apple TV.
I've had one for a couple of years and was initially very impressed by Apple's forward thinking. I use Airtunes controlled by an iPod touch; the stream via ethernet to Airport Extreme then 802.11n wireless to Apple TV works faultlessly.
Now I am extremely dissatisfied because Apple have taken no steps to upgrade the audio performance of ATV. As far as I am aware Apple TV runs a cut-down version of OSX with (presumably) Core Audio built in. Why oh why has no enhancement been added to allow control of the digital output so that 24 bit / 96 kHz audio may be selected (as one can do on any current Mac computer)?!

I have had the ATV for about 4 months now. I had the initial setup problems and a few others that are easily resolved. I use mine daily. Even though I have my satelite subscription, I do not use it. The Kids!!!!. Thumbs up for the ATV.
