I think this year will be the year I buy a Apple TV. Let me give you some info.
I have two blu-ray players with apps and a wii u and for the most part my wife and I are fine with this set up. No Cable TV, only streaming.
Sadly two TV shows have basically forced my hand and pushed me into buying an Apple TV, Supergirl and the upcoming Star Trek TV show. I am a huge Superman fan and Stark Trek fan. Both TV shows are on CBS and CBS does not support the app system of the blu-ray players or Wii U. My wife loves CSI and we both enjoy big bang theory so CBS app would be something we would use and I think the apple tv would be the best way to use that app.
It's a shame that CBS app is not available on the blu-ray players because it uses the Opera market system and both are name brand blu-ray players ( Sony and Samsung ) but CBS refuses to add a channel to the Opera market and has no plans on doing so in the future. The Opera market is full of apps and it updates every so often but CBS refuses to support it. The CBS app is only available for Roku, Apple TV and Amazon stick, and Google Chrome.
Apple TV is a great fit for us because my wife and I both own iPhones and I own a mac mini and we purchase movies and music on iTunes.
I have several movies that are digital copies on my Apple iTunes account and I have a huge library of music too ( with itunes match ) so I look forward to using the apple tv.
Now I am wondering if a new Apple TV is coming in 2016 ? I don't know how often Apple upgrades those things ( it seems random at best) but I haven't heard any rumors of newer one . Should I get 32 or 64 gig ?
I probably won't purchase it right away, just sometime this year so any advice would be welcomed.
