New Canadian TV Shows

New Canadian TV Shows!

I just bought the whole season (so far) of The Border on my TV.

Finally a tv show worth buying on iTunes Canada.

Still using 10.4.7

Appears to update the EFI and new firmware for the HDMI chips on board.

Yep. Too funny watching all the speculation about it running 10.5.2.

Lets just say it was worth waiting for.

Kevin

Oh man! Will we realize it right away?

 

[hualon]

Can you sort movies by genre?!?

 

[Malcster]

... any hint is a welcome hint. Take 2 seemed ready for release @ MacWorld's booth.

Anything different than what was there? I can't seem to find anything changed.

Not in this release (at least other than the store).

Not much you'd notice UI wise.

Amazing isn't it? In addition to streaming the audio... it also streams the album art and track info. Genius!

I'm just happy it does 5.1 Dolby now..

Now all they need to do is update the Express to 11n so it doesn't slow down your network just to use the feature.

Is the TV sorting fixed? By that I mean does it now organize it by season then by episode in order?

That's the $64,000 question. That (to me) would be one of the best parts of this update.

Yes. It divides the seasons up.

I don't get why they changed it for TV (and subsequently Front Row 2). In the original version of Front Row, it organized it just like that and it was perfect.

Yes.

Are the episodes within the seasons sorted ascending by the episode number? As opposed to reverse by date

 

[kbunch]

Man the install takes forever and I have to get back to work

 

[fivepoint]

Yes, but do you name each season including the season number?

For example, do you do it like this:
"Seinfeld"
or
"Seinfeld: Season 3"

I hate how in Front Row all of the Seinfelds are the same, (with no season indicator) and you have to go off of the album art to know what season it is (unless you actually name the "show" "Seinfeld: Season 3".

What a day

AppleTV take 2 release AND simplest most reliable iPhone Jailbreak app released!

Good day

 

[JW008]

Another excellent question. Again, worth the price of the update alone. I guess, greatly exceeds the price of the update alone.

Now, if only they'll fix it on Front Row 2, I would be a happy camper.

With the original Front Row, if you had the season number set up in the metadata, you could go into a show, then it would give you a list of seasons, then go into a season and it'd list the episodes.
