Hi All,

I hope you’re all enjoying your Apple TV’s, since their introduction three years ago, when they simply streamed music and photos from your Macs using a small white remote, they’ve received numerous free updates that now allow them to rent, stream and buy High Definition Video, be controlled by your iPhone or iPod Touch, and through Home Sharing, let you bring music and video’s from any one of your computers to any other.

Thank you all for getting in early with the Apple TV, I hope you are continuing to enjoy it and look forward to hearing your stories of how useful it’s been (be that in catching up on Mad Men, or showing your friends your vacation photos)

Best Regards,

Brendan.
