A Review of the Apple TV MC572LL/A Streaming Player

Apple TV is a very small device that delivers loads of entertainment.

If fact, it’s 80% smaller than the previous model and even has a built in power supply, which makes it easy to find a perfect location for this beautiful machine.

It’s very enerty efficient and stays cool without a fan, so it will never be noisy.  And if you are not watching vidoes it uses no more power than a night light.

It’s available now from Amazon and ships free with Super Saving Shipping.

Apple TV reviewWonderful little black box from an actual owner!!!

John RN,

This little black box is stupendous!  I’ve always been hessitant about Apple TV but since it’s only $99.00 and has Netflix streaming, I had to have it.  Setup was very easy.  As with all Apple product, it just works.
