After months of pre-order agony, eMails are arriving in the inboxes of the faithful detailing shipments and tracking numbers. I have converted some DVDs to mp4 placed on my hard drive following the guide http://www.appletvconverter.com/ , then put them onto Apple TV once I received it.

I still don’t care. What’s the big deal? I’ve read headlines that claim that it’s going to take over the living room, etc. It doesn’t seem like a very interesting product to me – am I alone in this?

Maybe I am among the very few Americans who doesn’t own a television, anyway.

Is it about HD?

How about for movies that you dont buy from itunes. Use RipItForMe for the rip. Use “Super” to convert from ripped vobs to h.264. Export from Quicktime to itunes library. You can now stream the movie or tv show of your choice to the Apple TV. It works….I can play them at 720p. If it plays in itunes it will stream to the Apple TV according to Mr. Jobs so there we are.

Super is a little slow but you can batch file it and run while you are off doing the more important things in life.

Now if the rumors that Leopard will allow you to stream your desktop to the apple TV are true then I get to play Battlefield 2 on my 42 inch plasma.

We are getting there arent we.

I don’t have a cable subscription and don’t intend to get one as I watch only 1 or 2 TV shows at any point in my life. So, TiVo wouldn’t work for me.

While I haven’t tried Amazon’s Unbox myself, It’s been ridiculed in every review I’ve ever seen, so I’m not too excited about that either.

What I do have is a growing library of digital content on my Mac, and I’d like to enjoy it on my HDTV without the hassle of hooking up my PowerBook to the TV and speakers, playing the video in QT, and having to run to the PowerBook every time I want to pause, skip a photo in a slideshow, or change a song.

TiVO wouldn’t give me any of that, and it’s worth $300.
