Show Your Apple TV Setups!

[zap2]

zap, what is the model of your TV? i'm asking b/c it doesn't look like a hidef tv right?

if that's the case, i know my sony has component which is how it's connected to the tv and then connected to the stereo.

oh my lord. if that's the case, i foresee an 'accidental' buy incident when i go to purchase my mac pro in a few weeks (assuming new ones are coming). the wife might not notice the slippage

Cheers,

yes

Ok, that is weird, one picture looks formatted for 4:3, while the other looks like it's anamorphic 16:9...

Could you do us a favor?

Take a picture with your set and apple TV displaying these two pictures:

If it supports 4:3 properly, then the first will fill the screen and the second will be letter boxed. If it does not support 4:3 then the first should have side bars and be oval, and the second will fill the screen and be oval.

If they both fill the screen, well, then Apple has many issues to work out.

Here is mine... The timing was perfect. My tivo didn't tape Grey's Anatomy on Thursday. So, I ran off to itunes and purchased the last episode and it went off without a hitch! Yeah!

Received the AppleTV today. Impressed so far. It looks great on the shelf!

Hey, where did you get that tv stand?? I was planning on building one, but am realizing that i have no time to pull it off.

Thanks

A much better place where in the worlds richest economy people learning to forward the country can afford material things?

Esco is that a 19" LE model samsung in the first picture? If it is i'm very tempted to get one for my room next year...well im going to regardless haha!

Nice set up though! Where did you get the money for both screens a 360, wii, ps3 and TV?

(p.s your TV isn't exactly centered like the wii sensor bar and speakers seem to be )

My dorm room setup at college:

Whoa! Aren't you afraid of getting ripped off?

This is what we had in our college apartment:

13" Hitachi Color TV
Technics Receiver
GE VHS VCR
NEC Beta Hi-Fi
Technics Tape Deck

This was 1985-1987 though....

I actually have a picture somewhere...

Yeah, I know what you mean! Well, some people get scholarships, or have money coming in, or go to less expensive schools. Good for them, I suppose.

We had a 13" TV/VCR combo and dammit, that was good enough for us! You kids with your fancy-pants technologies! Get a job!

Here's one more! Apologies for the blurry image...

 

[luker]

Hey esco, what's the wallpaper you're using in this image?

Assuming they haven't already, to pay for their goodies.

Personally I don't think people that are studying for 'the greater good' and to further their country and profession should have to work as well as study (which is a full time job in itself). We should be encouraging our young genii, not working them to the bone and giving them unmanageable workloads.

Hey esco, what's the wallpaper you're using in this image?

It's from Interfacelift.

 

[luker]

Got it.

 

[TheAnswer]

Got it.

I'm glad you found it so quick...I was gonna add the exact link in an edit once I found it, but then interfacelift decided it....wanted....to....drag....its....feet...

Anyways, all's well that ends well.

blakespot's setup...

Here's mine (click to zoom)...






Full gallery can be seen here:

Have it, along with my XBOX 360 and Shuttle media PC (3.2GHz P4 running XP and Meedio) wired into a LinkSys Gigabit Ethernet router (not using Wi-Fi for the AppleTV, wired's faster) and have the AppleTV and my media PC sharing one of my TV's HDMI inputs by way of an Octava 4-way HDMI/TOSLINK digital switch. All programmed into my MX-700 for one-button switching of the lot.

Good times.
