Apple TV Unboxing Photos (and Video)

Gizmodo has posted the first unboxing photos of the Apple TV.



It looks like they really got into it, with Unboxing Photos and then a series of 57 photos "From Backside to Unbox" and a few additional notes about it.

A couple of the more interesting notes:

- AppleTV will pick up where your iPod left off
- Your iTunes season passes are automatically pushed over to your AppleTV's hard drive, and the episodes you've already watched will be removed automatically.

Update: Video of Apple TV Setup

As always, Apples unboxing is always fun of any of their products. Now I almost want one when I get my nice TV.

I'd love to buy one of these right now. I guess it's good for me that Apple made it only HDTV compatible since it forces me to wait. Can't wait to get my hands on one, right now I'm watching a ton of TV from ipod and this would be a big step up.

Gizmodo calls the Apple TV "an iPod for your TV". It looks like that is what Apple is positioning Apple TV for. You still create/encode/download your content via iTunes on your PC or Mac. Then use Apple TV as the "conduit" to display your content on your widescreen HDTV. That about sums it up. Easy interface. Apple does it again - iPod for Video for your TV.

Looks nice, typical apple packaging. No cables sucks though. If they included HDMI and component cables, they would eliminate like 100 negatives that this thread is gonna get lol

i'm surprised the Apple Remote still uses IR... an Apple Remote that finally uses Bluetooth would have been an interesting addition to the Apple TV...

on that note, i can't wait until the iPod Nano doubles as the official Apple Remote (with Bluetooth of course).

I betcha that this AppleTV has no closed caption capabilities. If it does not, WAY TO GO, APPLE. Thank you, Steve, for thinking about us, hearing impaired. When you download TV programs and Movies. AppleTV and iTunes does NOT support closed captions. You can not find anywhere on AppleTV and iTunes specs that it supports closed captions. I understand that the videos must have symbol "cc" next to download page of each program or movie to tell you that it has closed caption capability. I have yet not been able to get"cc" to work in which way possible. If there is anyone out there in AppleLand that can tell me how to get closed caption to work or will there be any support in the near future, please tell me. Thank you. :-(
