    You know, it is a pity this isn't for the Apple TV 2, as those poppies sell for over €200 on ebay/adverts as they are jailbreakable!

    This is actually the new, current model, Apple TV 3, which unfortunately isn't jailbreakable, so while being more powerful and capable then the ATV2, ironically it is in less demand.

    The Apple TV 3 however is a very good device and this is a good price for it. However there have been persistent rumours that a new Apple TV is due out soon.

    Why would you need to jailbreak it? Just stream your content to your AppleTV3, all you need to change your DNS settings to your streaming PC, the are few techniques how to do it, which can be found on Internet.

    So I can use it with a NAS. I dont have any apple devices other than the ATV2 & jailbroken with XBMC on it is the way to go.

    Doesn't plex now work with the Apple TV with no jailbreak, thus allowing all content to be played on it?

    Yes, though it isn't the full nice Plex Interface that you get on a Jailbroken Apple TV.

    I'd be weary of going head first into this one. It's not as in demand as the APTV2, regardless of fully streaming 1080p.

    There is no jailbreaking for ATV3, and XBMC is not available for it. There is a number of teething issues you can hit with streaming content to the device from your local PC< laptop and NAS, and there is a number of issues regarding playback of certain files and media.

    Friend got an ATV3 and after a week sold it on, and went back to his ATV2, not sure what's changed, but make sure to do your research. Not as simple as streaming your content, unless the content is in a certain file format. (might have changed, but worth triple checking)

    I looked into buying one but the lack of jailbreaking and XBMC, means I loose too much functionality and use that I get from my AT2.

    Got myself a Netgear push2tv for £35, that was a bargain. Wireless hdmi, so it will mirror the laptop screen like an Appletv. Works with miracast for recent phones too

    No screen, that little white light on the front isn't a LED, tis a projector bulb ... just paint a wall white and you'll be away. Best do this before you get it as then you'll be all set when it arrives.

    On January 28, 2013, Apple released a third generation "Rev A" which included component changes


    the Apple TV can't be considered the premier living room box. That honor goes to the Roku 3, which offers up more content options (including Amazon Instant, Pandora, Spotify, and Rdio), excellent cross-platform search, and a nifty remote with a headphone jack for private listening.

    If you're deeply invested in the Apple ecosystem, especially iTunes, the Apple TV is a polished streaming-video box that's well worth its $100 price tag. But most buyers are better off with the plucky Roku 3 -- even if it doesn't stream YouTube

    It does stream youtube since December. Roku 3 is definitely a better option unless it gets jailbroken. Major complaint about roku is no keyboard support for the parent.

    Unless airplay is a big attraction, then I wouldn't bother. I had one for 2 days and went back to using my WD TV Live.

    At this price, this is a good bargain, especially if you or anyone in the family has any idevices.

    I've got both ATV2's and ATV3's and both versions get well used.

    I've even been tempted to revert the jailbroken ATV2 back to normal as just about everything I need is on the regular ATV3.

    For anyone that has ATV2, they may or nay not find this good. Firecore are selling ATV Flash (Black) for ~ €14.60 on stacksocial. Didn't think it was big enough for it's own thread, but may be wrong..
