Apple TiVo Acquisition????
Apple is reportedly negotiating with cable companies to make set-top boxes. A faster route to your living room would be a TiVo buyout.

So what of the Apple TVs ????

Re: Apple TiVo Acquisition????
Let me be one of the first to say I'd drop my TiVo subscription if Apple take it over. I'm not a fan of the fruit company myself.

Apple won't make a cable box, it's just another rumour.

To each their own I would never buy another microflop machine. The apple TV is tied down but well made just like all the apple range. Even a Judge has ruled that an Apple devise is COOL

Re: Apple TiVo Acquisition????
Be interesting to see how this one develops. If Apple were to bring some of its software and product design know-how to TiVo it could be a good thing.

Yes I would follow suit, I would never use an Apple product.

Re: Apple TiVo Acquisition????
Funnily enough I see Apples products very similar to Sky's , slick intuitive interface and simple to use were TIVO is more like Android being that bit more complex with more advanced/customisation options.

Re: Apple TiVo Acquisition????
Apple TV has no AirPlay whatsoever and you download your purchases to its hard drive.
Apple TV 2 does AirPlay and you stream purchases.
Apple TV 3 is the same but it does 1080p instead of 720p.

TV 2 pre-owned prices are higher than 3 because you can jailbreak them and run XBMC.
