Apple TV: 40GB of pure TV fun!

Last Saturday, we got to test the Popcorn Hour Media Player. This Saturday, it’s Apple TV’s time to shine in the living room.

The Apple TV comes in two flavors — the older 40GB version and the newer 160GB. The thing is, the 40GB version doesn’t really have 40GB of available storage — something like just around 32GB.

As expected from Apple, the device didn’t came with an HDMI cable so you’ll have to fork about $20 for it as well.

Was expecting the Apple TV to be a little smaller but this one seems to be a little wider. It gets pretty hot too after a couple of hours of usage.

Will have to spend some more time with this rig to make a better review. My biggest frustration so far is the power cable — the magnetic cord just won’t stick to the socket well that it often gets disconnected.

      Have yours hacked by YNZAL.

      You’ll get AVI/XVID/WMV support, USB and Network Drive access, keyboard/mouse access and Safari running on your HD TV.

      Last time I checked, the Apple TV 40GB costs about Php16k in Greenhills while the 160GB version is more than Php20k.
