Apple TV gives you access to everything you want to see and hear — blockbuster films, your music and photos, even news and sport — all on your widescreen TV. And now with iCloud, your photos update automatically. And best of all, Apple TV is just £99.
Overview
A lot of entertainment. In a very little box.
With Apple TV, everything you want to watch — films, photo slideshows and more — plays wirelessly on your widescreen TV. No managing storage. No syncing to your iTunes library. HD films from iTunes and Netflix play over the Internet on your HDTV, and music and photos stream from your computer. All you have to do is click and watch.
With iCloud and Photo Stream, your photos update automatically — no syncing, no sending.
Apple TV features a powerful A4 chip, so it plays everything effortlessly, without frozen screens or stutters. Videos look crisp and clear. And just like watching a DVD, you can fast-forward through opening credits, pause for a popcorn break or replay an hilarious scene until you memorise every line.
Apple TV is quiet, energy efficient and so small it fits in the palm of your hand. Which makes it perfect for sitting neatly on a TV stand or squeezing into a crowded media cabinet. And when it’s not filling your living room with drama, romance and comedy, it uses less power than a night-light.

Get connected with Apple TV.
Setting up Apple TV is about as simple as it gets. Just plug the power lead into the wall and connect Apple TV to your widescreen TV using an HDMI cable (sold separately). Since everything streams wirelessly to Apple TV using your Wi-Fi network, that’s all you need. Well, that and a comfy sofa.
Give your digital collection some airtime.
Home Sharing on your Apple TV makes sure those songs, films, TV programmes and photos — even home videos — don’t have to stay on your computer. For maximum entertainment, stream your digital collection over the air to your Apple TV. Just don’t forget to call dibs on the recliner.

No more queueing to check out DVDs or watching stale blockbusters on cable.

Even read a quick film review, watch the trailer and check out the latest ratings from iTunes. Once you find what you’re looking for, simply press Play, and in seconds, you’re watching the opening credits with cinema-like Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound.1 SD rentals start from just £2.49, and HD rentals start from £3.49. You have 30 days to start watching, and once you begin, you can watch as many times as you want in 48 hours.

to iCloud.
Photo Stream.
Say Gran couldn’t make it to your kid’s first football game. You snapped enough pictures, but the thought of uploading all those photos was daunting. Until now. With Photo Stream in iCloud, your last 1,000 photos automatically appear on all your devices — including Apple TV. No matter which device you used to take the picture. No syncing. No sending. Your photos are just there on your HDTV. For Gran, and everyone, to enjoy.
AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring.
What you see is what you show.
Your content. Large and in charge.
Not only can you stream music, photos and videos to Apple TV from your computer — but thanks to AirPlay, you can also stream it all from your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.2 So if you feel like watching a film you have on one of your devices, you don’t need to rent or buy it again. You can also stream a home video you just recorded or videos from websites and AirPlay-enabled apps. Simply tap to start playing content on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, then tap again to instantly stream whatever you’re watching — or listening to — directly to Apple TV.
And now with AirPlay Mirroring, you can wirelessly and securely stream what’s on your iPad 2 or iPhone 4S to your HDTV. So you can show off just about anything you can do on your iPad or iPhone for the whole room to see. Like that amazing new app and your gaming skills (or lack thereof). Learn more about AirPlay
