As a blogger, a good sized chunk of my life is spent online. My entire family has become this way over time. We’ve modified our entertainment to suit our lifestyle and stream radio, Netflix or YouTube in almost every room in our home. With an Apple TV from Staples Canada, I can easily load content from my computer, iPod, iPhone, iPad and iCloud to access a total entertainment package.
The Apple TV is so small it fits in the palm of your hand, uses less power than a night-light and is easy to setup. With the plug and play feature, you’ll be syncing to your devices and enjoying your favourite programs within minutes and since since everything streams wirelessly to Apple TV using your Wi-Fi network, that’s all you need to do. Easy! Grab a beverage, a bowl of popcorn and your wireless remote and you’re set.
What is AppleTV Exactly?
Apple TV gives you anytime access to endless entertainment. HD movies and TV shows from iTunes and top providers — many in stunning 1080p — play through Apple TV on your HDTV. You can also browse your previously purchased music and even buy new music from the iTunes Store. Finding whatever you’re in the mood for is quick and easy thanks to a beautiful and consistent content interface.1 And it’s simple to stream music, photos and more from your Mac or iOS device with AirPlay.
Other Features
- AirPlay – With AirPlay, you can wirelessly stream content from your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch to your widescreen TV via Apple TV.2 So if you want to watch a movie, stream home movies, photos or videos from websites, you can. And with AirPlay Mirroring, you can display the screen of your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch on your HDTV.
- iCloud – Store it in iCloud. Watch it on Apple TV. With iCloud, you can buy movies and TV shows on Apple TV and watch them on your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Mac or PC. And vice versa.5 iCloud also stores your photos and pushes them wirelessly to all your devices. It’s the easiest way to get instant access to your content, no matter which device you’re using.
- Remote App – Remote is a free, fun and easy-to-use app that turns your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch into a remote control. So wherever you are in your house, you can control your computer’s iTunes library and your Apple TV with a tap or flick of a finger.
