Hi!
I am a imac owner. I would like to stream my itunes content to my HD TV. My queary is, if this is all I would like to do, stream my movies, tv & music to my TV do I need to buy the latest apple TV. What are the
Will I get away with buying a 1st gen model insted. Im studying at the moment hence the ways to save $. Thanks in advance for the replies.
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), It is a early 2010 model
Both will stream just fine.
Obviously if cost is an issue go for what you can afford, but don't necessarily assume that a second hand Apple TV 1 will be less than a second hand Apple TV 2 or 3, to some users they are still very desireable.
Ok, so they are similar. Are there any major differences in models.
Some sellers are trying to trade the 3rd gen. Models for twice as much as you can get them from the apple store?
Are they putting extra features on them and reselling them. I was under the impression that a current 3rd gen. Model is $100 so a first gen. Second hand should be substantially cheaper. Maybe this is not the case?
Those that are reselling them at higher than retail have likely modified them, which means they have no warranty and are likely to cause you a headache at some point in the future.
I dont want a modified unit. Do you know the major differences in the gens?
If there isnt a reasonable price difference im thinking the latest unit from the apple store.
Third Gen is 1080, second gen is 720 HD which is the major difference between them.
The latest version would provide you with a warranty.
There are major differences between the first generation model and the others. The first one allowed on board storage but lacked many of the features of the later ones such as AirPlay, netflix, iTunes match, Photostream, Flickr, hulu etc etc.
The second and third models are identical in their features except the later model can output at a higher resolution.
Ignore the question. I found the answer in another post. Sorry; I rarely use forums and so I am not as adept at searching as others.
1st Gen Apple TV vs 3rd Gen
