So, while the Apple TV itself doesn’t have the hundreds of channels that Roku does, it basically allows you to view any app that will run on your iPad, which kind of makes up for the lack of native Apple TV channels. Note that I had to use my TV’s zoom feature to make the picture fill the whole screen, but the picture quality was still good. Mirroring my iPad screen to my TV using Apple TV AirplayĪbove is my 42″ flatscreen TV mirroring my iPad screen while using the NBC iPad App. Apple TV launched with just a handful of channels, but now they have almost four pages filled with apps for you to explore:
NBC APP FOR IPAD FOR FREE
There’s another service called Vimeo that is similar to YouTube. You can also watch movie trailers for free and there is a Wall Street Week app with videos as well. My favorite free video service on there is YouTube. The first question you might have is, “what programming can I watch right out of the box without paying for anything?” Well, there is some stuff. If you don’t have iTunes content, then check out the Roku or Amazon Fire TV. If you want to rent videos, especially video on iTunes, and you have other Apple devices and iTunes content, Apple TV might be right for you. It has apps for many other services like Netflix, Hulu, and so on.
It’s the only streaming device that natively plays video from the iTunes store (2020 UPDATE: not anymore Roku and Amazon Fire TV can do that also). My conclusion is that it doesn’t replace cable TV, but it does have good content. I’ve owned an Apple TV for some time now. If you're still interested in Apple TV, see my original article below.
