- This record is perhaps U2's finest hour, yet it has been forgotten as a strange by-product of the ZooTV tour's overload, and is generally regarded by most fans as a poor effort. It is this sentiment t

Digging Deeper Into Apple TV
Thursday, January 11th, 2007 at 2:00 PM - by John Martellaro
SAN FRANCISCO -- iPodObserver.com has learned more about Apple's newly renamed AppleTV, including some details about networking options, what kind of content can be shown through the unit and more.
1. In addition to an AirPort base station, a standalone Macintosh with an Airport card can be configured to connect directly, point-to-point, with an Apple TV.
2. 802.11n is not strictly required. Video can be transmitted using the 802.11g protocol.
3. The 720p output mode matches the resolution of most HDTVs already purchased, and the Apple TV price point is based on 720p hardware technology.
4. Apple's technical specification page for the Apple TV makes no mention of HDMI 1.2 or 1.3. When the product actually ships, we'll know more.
5. Only content contained within iTunes can be transmitted to the Apple TV. However, any H.264 or MPEG-4 file can be dragged into iTunes and made available to the Apple TV.
6. Movie content on DVDs is copy protected. There is no formal mechanism to allow movies on DVD to become part of the iTunes library.
