First generation apple tv hdmi cable

Are you dead certain it is a first generation, not too many of those still alive. I'd recomennd looking over Identify your Apple TV model. If you have a 2nd to 4K unit a high quality HDMI cable like:

is recommended. Yes the quality of the cable makes a difference.

Happy to help, Apple TV's come up for sale on Apple's refurbished store. If you are in the US, you can find the link to that store at www.apple.com at the bottom of the page. The good news is that Apple refurbished products have no down side other than they sell out very quickly so you have to check often and buy when what you want is available. The upside of Apple refurbished are:

• Identical to new
• Covered by the same 1 year warranty as a new product
• Eligible for AppleCare to extend the warranty period
• Can save $$

When the opportunity is there and I have the need I always buy Apple refurbished products.

BTW, Apple TV's make great presents too.

I tend to like to get HDMI cables that are designed for 4K content even if you don't have a 4K TV. The reason being is eventually the TV will likely be replaced and then you don't have to buy another HDMI cable for 4K.

You may want to consider upgrading, it is extremely old and was cool over 10 years ago but now it's really kind of a relic.
