    Didn't have a compu b near. Pc world have them online, but none in stores. It was only refreshed last year, and as so few units are sold I don't see it changing till late 2014 when the "iTV" is rumoured to launch.

    Might just give it a miss again if I can't find it. Was really only getting it for us iTunes and netflix on my tv

    The Expert electrical shops have them, also Argos have them at about 30 euro over priced.

    If you are in to Netflix it is great as you can watch it in high quality on your 40 inch screen or whatever you have. I'm not that in to watching movies on laptops.

    Also handy for renting new movies on itunes and watching on your big TV in HD.

    If you have other Apple products, the air play is good. For example videos or photos taken on your iphone can be streamed with one touch to your TV with surprisingly good quality or movies on your laptop (macbook) streamed to your tv without going through itunes.

    There's other stuff but they're the main ones for me.

    You can control it from an app on your iphone or ipad.

    For a 100 quid it's a great, no-fuss piece of kit.

    +1 to that.

    Bought my Apple TV 5 weeks ago and its a brilliant piece of kit that works flawlessly, but hey its an Apple device so you'd expect that;)

    I'm making my way through the Netflix catalogue watching all those series like "Jericho", "Warehouse 13" etc that I never had time to watch before. There's also a lot of good movies with some cheesy ones too. The latest releases are available to rent or to buy on itunes. Or to put it another way, I didn't need to watch terrestrial or satellite tv over Chrimbo as Netflix and itunes kept me entertained.

    Plus I can connect my ipad and iphone to it via Airplay and stream my content onto the 46inch tv I have.

    Well worth the money.
