PC Magazine "The basic concept of this product is straightforward: It can wirelessly stream content from the iTunes libraries of up to five computers as well as play content directly from the box's 40 GB hard drive. This means you can enjoy almost anything on your PC, be it movies, photos, podcasts, or music, on your enhanced-definition and high-definition widescreen televisions. Apple's slogan says, "if it's on iTunes, it's on Apple TV" -- and this is mostly true. Those who don't mind hooking up a few cables and thinking a little about the setup will enjoy this wireless extension to iTunes. Overall, it does a pretty damn good job, despite some limitations. "

Ars Technica "Geeks are more likely than anyone else to hate the Apple TV out of the box. There are currently too many limitations to justify the price to many of us, although the potential is there for Apple to push down a few major software/firmware updates and make this device into (almost) everything we wish it could be...However, almost everyone else who witnessed the Apple TV in action in our presence fell in love with it instantaneously (about half of which were not Mac users). The look and feel of both the device itself and its functionality impressed all those who touched it. We would not worry whatsoever about our technophobic parents' ability to set up the Apple TV and use it on a daily basis."
