What if Apple Made a TV with Apple TV Integrated?
Imagine that. What if Apple made a large, flat panel TV with Apple TV integrated? How do you guys think that would go over? One of my biggest gripes with the Apple TV is that there’s no tuner built-in. I know, I know, sometimes “less is more,” but it is kind of an annoyance to [...]

** Site Update **
Due to some changes to the registration system and a new addition coming to the site, it is temporarily not necessary to register to leave a comment. Again this change is temporary.

What’s your Apple TV hooked up to?
Just wanted to get an idea of everyones’ Apple TV/Home Theatre setup. Feel free to post. Wonder if there are any shared similarities or patterns that emerge. Here’s mine:

-Slim Devices Squeezebox (ver. 2)
-XBox 360
PandoraJam
This is probably one of my favorite Apps out there on the Mac. Basically, it’s a front end for Pandora, but allows for much, much more. Such as:
Recording: You could record a song (even in the middle of it), and it’ll get converted and added to your iTunes music library (in AAC/MP3).
Streaming: Streaming [...]
