Na ha ha can the TV get TV Channels oh man actually it should it's in the name TV:eek: Oh well I can dream can't I?
 
Explain the concept behind EyeTV then. Do people think it's a hook up from your eyes to your TV?

AppleTV plays digital content on your TV. Not sure what the misunderstanding is there.

Um, does that mean " the eyes have it " ? ;)

... and what about "cable tv " when comcast came to my house they didn't bring anything resembling a tv with them. If I have to pay them, why should I have to provide the tv ? Whats more, I have to pay them to see *anything* on my tv. ... Its all so ridiculous.
 
This is turning into a Gallagher thread...

Why do they call it a TV set if you only get one?

Why do they call them buildings if they're already built?

this is nothing compared to how pissed I was when I found out it wasn't really an apple! I had bitten the thing in half only to find out it was full of wires and crap!
 
Jesus H - never have I read such rabbid attacks on a post, which in the grand total of things, is meaningless.

I'm simply trying to get the following idea across: When a non-Apple fanboy walks into BestBuy (or whatever store you want) and sees a product called "Apple TV", they immediately assume, it's some type of Apple brand converter box for their cable or satellite hookup.

Flame me more if you wish!
All I know is that, if you state "there is no denying...", you'd better be right or expect to get slammed. It was an inaccurate statement.

And I disagree with your premise. If something has "TV" in the name, but is obviously not a TV, I would assume it interfaces with a TV in some fashion (which it does). There is nothing in the name that implies that it is a converter box. Just because you made unwarranted assumptions does not mean that the name is misleading.
 
whats the point of naming it tv then? they should call it youtube tv or something!!
I totally agree. And what's with eBay? I looked on the web site and saw no bays of any kind. Not a lagoon, not an estuary, no bodies of water for sale at all.

They should call it eCrapForSale or something!!

/Tard.
 
Winner!

Yes, as Apple fans, we will not exclude or prevent you from joining our little clan, but we WILL openly mock you.

Seriously, this is a great thread.
 
Wait are you guys telling me the :apple:TV does not have a screen?!?
I have it hanging on the bathroom wall and have been trying to get the snow off the screen. I have a trouble ticket into apple. If that is not a screen why is it shaped like a little LCD TV?
 
Nope
