This is my first ozbargain post. Been eyeing for the latest Apple TV. Found this on the recent Dick's Brochure valid from 12-June till 2-July 2012. JB Hi-Fi sells at $107 where Dicks sells at $109 but include a $20 iTunes Card. Making it Nett at $89 for the new Apple TV. It's a decent catch if you are someone who buy stuff on iTunes. Enjoy.

    very confusing title there

    Sounds like a good deal, perhaps change the title to "New Apple TV with $20 iTunes Card for $109 at DSE"

      take away the word 'new'. it is assumed new unless specified otherwise

        Mark-F on 10/06/2012 - 22:44

        The word 'New' is referring to the new third generation Apple TV that was released in March, not the condition of the product.

      Yes cause I am sure Apple are reading your comment.

      Sorry but I think your neg is grossly unfair to the OP. The product works (and works well) for many.

      Trust me, you will want to use it on some cool software that works with your AppleTV like AirVideo and Garage Band.

      It is worth getting if you use iTunes and store all of your movies there, you don't have to purchase content from iTunes if you don't want to.

      •  
        doggykit on 10/06/2012 - 22:53

        But in storing your movies there requires you to purchase them right?

          Mark-F on 10/06/2012 - 23:17

          It should be possible to store your movies there by saving them in the relevant iTunes directory, in the correct file format. I own an iMac, and rip my DVDs using Handbrake and use a program called iFlicks, which adds metadata to the movies and adds them to iTunes.

          If you have iphone or ipad, just use Air Video or Ace HD player to stream it from your shared storage. It will play almost any format including RMVB and other HD formats.

    Good deal! I just bought one last week and can vouch it works seamlessly with all my iPads and iPhones. Even taught my 5 yr old how to use it now…it just works!

    I might get another one for the other TV.

        stonedewok on 11/06/2012 - 12:34

        hmm yeah, really having difficulty choosing between AppleTV and WDTV live….our household is pretty much all Apple (macbook, iphone, ipad), so I guess atv makes sense… and I just read you can mirror webbrowsing on your ipad to the TV, so I guess that kinda settles my previous question.

        But then again I do like the flexibility of the WDTV live (apps, file formats,etc) …Cheapest I can find is $US100 delivered from amazon?

        •  
          teaBagger on 11/06/2012 - 19:25

          The beauty of the WDTV Live is that you can serve directly from any fileshare / DLNA without the need of iTunes running in the background.

          If the latest AppleTV could be Jailbroken - I would purchase the AppleTV….but it cant

        The Xbox 360 can access iView and SBS on Demand, as well as Foxtel (if you are willing to pay for it). The D-Link Boxee Box is however not restricted, in the sense that you can watch video from any website, on your TV.

      Can only view ABC iView via an iPad and AirPlay with the Apple TV. Works well, but a native app on the Apple TV itself would be much, much appreciated!

      WD Live Streaming (3rd gen) supports iView, works with most file types/codecs, and handles 1080p with ease. Great value.

      quarrymaster on 11/06/2012 - 09:04

      Check for 1080p to confirm the newer version.

  •  
    aussiedogga on 11/06/2012 - 09:10

    As you can use 'AirPlay' with this - does that mean you could have a downloaded (legally of course) movie on the iMac playing, then use AirPlay to watch it on the TV? Does anyone know if the quality would be OK doing this?

    •  
      Crownanchor on 11/06/2012 - 09:15

      If its in the supported format, yes, can play it through iTunes or QuickTime Player, or through other apps on iPhone/iPad.

      Quality depends on the source.

      When the JB is available Plex and XBMC work well.

    Both WD TV live and Apple TV have their advantages and disadvantages, therefore I have both.

    WD tv live ($100 - $130): the new one which I have has built in wifi n, plays any format u throw at it directly from nas or pc/Mac , mkv, avi, mp4, rmvb all in 1080p no problem. It has 2 USB ports, can plug in USB hdd, and also a wireless/Bluetooth keyboard to USB port for typing.

    Apple TV ($109 or $89 on this deal): can now play 1080p from iTunes store u buy or rent a movie on iTunes to play, or put mp4 files only on your pc or Mac iTunes to play from there, your computer must be on cannot play from nas. The only thing I use apple tv is for AirPlay, using my iPad I can wirelessly mirror the iPad and FaceTime calls, safari browsing, games, YouTube whatever's on the iPad is mirrored to screen, iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPhone 4S only mirroring. The older devices limited capability can send video, audio and photo but no mirroring. OSX mountain lion which is coming soon will also allow u to AirPlay mirror your Mac laptop onto apple tv.

    So basically buy both and they are both efficient wdtvlive 8watts max, apple tv 6 watts, on 24/7 no sound no heat, replaces htpc. Only thing missing is PVR.

    Hope this helps

      what is this "renting" of movies you speak of?

        landroverz7 on 11/06/2012 - 20:43

        On the apple tv you can rent tv shows or movies, the price varies from $0.99 for a single tv show episode all the way upto $6.99 for latest movie in 1080p. I have never tried it myself but how it works is once you start watching the video u rented it automatically deletes itself in 24 hours.

          So $24 to watch a 24 episode season, months after it airs in the US and I never get to watch it again.

          Seriously they wonder why people pirate.

          Actually just checked on itunes, apparently apple has removed the option of renting tv shows, you can only buy now. $2.99 for SD single epsiode or $3.49 for the HD version. Movies you can rent and buy the price varies.
