Hi,
is it only possible to rent HD movies with apple tv?
i have a mac mini connected to a 46" full hd lcd screen, so it would bee nice wacthing high def movies
Only available on a
TV and once you rent it the movie can not be moved - its TV only.
too bad... but I heard that maybe the studios didn't want HD copies of their movies floating around on computer hard-drives, in case someone breaks the DRM...
a little sad that consumers that invested in a product like the mac mini as a mediasenter will not have the same deal as the ones who spent less cash on a apple tv
Apple never marketed the Mac mini as a media centre.
I've said this before and I'll say it again....I think it's fair. If you own an appletv you get the luxury of having better quality rentals and purchases. I think its nice. I think it gives people a good incentive to buy an appletv. Plus, you don't need perfect quality if you're watching it on your iPod or computer screen.
