Well here we go; (I know no one has actually got their mits on one but I was just wondering if anyone had read something I hadnt!)
- Why is there a Hard Drive? My iTunes library is definately over 40gb!
- What is the USB on the back for? I think on the apple site is says service and maintenace?
- I have a powerbook that connects to my wireless router, will I be able to access content from this on the TV?
Thanks!
The hard drive like people said is to store you so don't have to stream or have your computer on. I imagine that in the case of those with Powerbooks or non 802.11n computers it will be easier to sync a movie to the
tv hd that it will be to stream it from a 802.11g machine to the
tv for live viewing. As far as the 40GB, this is something that has me a bit miffed as well. I intend like many others to have my entire DVD library on my external so that I can stream through
tv, however, it seems that I will need to use the streaming from 1 of 5 functionality or sync a few movies I plan to watch. At 40GB, I will probably sync my entire iTunes library and hopefully most if not all of my photo library and leave the movies for streaming, which means I need an n enabled Mac and a new Airport Extreme router.
Thats great if its five different comps!
Do you reckon you will have to select which comp you want to search the content of, or will it compile it all together?
You can stream from up to 5 computers that are paired, i.e. passworded to the
tv, for access at any time, however, I seriously doubt we're talking about AT THE SAME TIME, and no it won't compile them. You can select which one you want to browse kind of thing.
