A gaming blog is reporting that a television service from Apple could debut on the Wii. The owner claims he has spoken to a company executive who has revealed that the service will be unveiled at the brand new E3 next month.And what does this possibly mean? Well if the blog spurts any truth whatsoever then you might be able to subscribe to the Apple television service via your Wii and not just an Apple telly box. Rumour has been rife that Nintendo could start a dedicated video channel for the Wii by linking in with Youtube, however it appears Apple could be the future of video on the Wii. We'll keep you updated when E3 arrives, but for now this is speculation! Last edited by Rob Rymond; 06-19-2007 at 01:21 PM. |

Do you guys know anything about Apple TV and how it works? It's not like a Tivo were you can record and save programs. It works by syncing your videos and music (purchased from Itunes) or songs that you have added wirelessly to the Apple TV box. It does not store them on the device it self. Right now the videos are not even in HD quality. photos are the the only things that are actually saved on the system. (and look the best) I spoke with a guy at the apple store and he said right now there is now need for it until video quality is improved. I played around with it and the interface is nice but the video quality was real poor. Photos are awesome but how often are you going to look at a slide show of you pictures on your TV. Same goes for listening to music through your TV, what's the point. Connect it to your stereo! Later this summer you are going to be able to watch youtube videos. Wow big deal.

HD is 720P and higher for one
As for Ipods, you can add music from anywhere, everyone knows that. They only thing is that if you DL off of the Itunes store the song, videos only work with Itunes, Apple TV and Ipods. From what I have been told you can only use videos that have been DL from Itunes not personal video from other sources for use on the apple tv. This was told to me by an employee of the apple store. If the apple TV has an HDMI cable then why are they not offering HD videos? What's the point. If you want to watch youtube on your TV why not just buy the mac mini and hook it up through VGA and have full access not just youtube. skip the entire step of having a apple TV and use the mac mini. There is a reason it has no monitor or mouse and keyboard. pair it with a nice wireless keyboard and mouse and hook it up to your tv. No worries about signal loss everything you need it all right there.

Second, it's not Ipods, it's iPods, the I is not capitalized, and P is capitalized, and yes, it does matter, it's their thing, for example, I am on an iBook, right now, the name on it is not Ibook, it's iBook, watch out for that next time Quote:

dude you an idiot if you are going to complain about how Ipod, imac or any other apple product is spelled. Do you even know what a mac mini is? do your research before you talk. For a guy who claims to know so much about apple you really know absolutely nothing.
Like I said before 720P or greater is HD not 720i. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-definition_television Quote:

How can somebody who graduated top 10% of their class be an idiot? (I have graduated top 10% of my entire high school, class of '07, yes, I graduated this year, and I am going to DeVry University next month, with a $1,000 scholarship), I don't think i'm an idiot, okay? Or I wouldn't of made it as far as I havewhy are you having an argument about the iPod spelling thing, I was just giving a point okay? It's not worth ranting about Do I know what a Mac Mini is? Yeah, a Mac mini is one of the smallest desktop computers made by Apple, around the size of the Wii, the Mac mini is known for it's hard to open small form factor case, when you order the Mac mini, in the same box the Mac mini is in, the KB and mouse are included, maybe not the monitor, but I think it is included I already seen the wikipedia page, do you know what the i and p means in the resolutions? I am pretty sure that 720i does exist, is it used? Maybe not, but it is a form of HD, and if it's not HD, what is it? I think you are the idiot talking about how the Apple TV is not worth getting when that wasn't even the topic, the topic was there might be an Apple TV channel for the Wii, some people are interested in it, if you are not, don't be rude and post that it's horrible, if the Apple TV channel comes out to the Wii, I think that would be a perfect addition to the Wii

Big deal you got into college. That's what your suppose to do after high school
i = interlaced p = progressive and again 720P is the Lowest level of HD there is no 720i 720i is an erroneous term found in numerous sources and publications. Typically it is a typo in which the author is referring to the 720p HDTV (high-definition television) format. However in some cases it is presented as an actual alternative format to 720p. In fact, no proposed or existing broadcast standard permits 720 interlaced lines in a video frame at any frame rate.
