Voltage range Apple TV

Last month I purchased an Apple TV in the US. Nowhere in the manual or on the box is there a statement regarding power range. Can you please confirm that it can be used in Europe. i.e. It can be plugged into both 110 Volt and 220-240 volts.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.2), iMac6,1, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.33 GHz

i always feel it is safer to replace the cable than to use one of those adapters.
god knows how made it and whether it will set fire to the building !

i'd be amazed if a standard "figure 8" cable was more expensive that a decent convertor though

possibly.

guess we're spoiled over here - nothing is allowed to be sold that hasn't undergone stringent testing for safety by companies such as [ TÜV|http://www.tuv.com/uk/en/index.html].
