Applies to Older Apple TV models If you have the newer Apple TV model, there's not much help here...this book applies to the older generation of Apple TV.
It's a good gift to wrap when gifting an Apple TV I don't actually buy the technology in our family; this was something to wrap up for my hubby. No body has actually read the book; and he decided to go with a PS3 instead because it does everything he wanted Apple TV to do and more (blueray, streaming movies from server...) I am only rating it 3 stars cause the book is physicaly smaller than I expected. LOL
