    coming from a big apple fan that thought this was worthless + 1 simple problem APPLE NEEDS TO ADDRESS w/remote
    I'm a big apple fan, g/f didn't know what to get me, told me she was getting this and I said no.. she got it anyway, not a big learning curve. I like it a lot more than using other things out there like Roku, and I don't connect it to my macbook or iMac. So I like there, but there's 2 problems with the remote.I hate the remote. My hands are small and my thumb barely fits in the middle. IT's sleek and looks nice, but in the dark you will all of a sudden hit enter instead of up/down/left/right once in a while... Apple can do many cheap solutions to solve it, such as put little plastic dot on the up/down/left/right (where you already see the white dot. so I know where my thumb is. Or they could seperate it further (which they wouldn't do). Also they could/should make it LED on the remote for using it at night. After one touch of any button led lights could come on. then it goes back into sleep mode after 30 seconds. The remote also messes up and takes my iMac out of SLEEP MODE when I use it on my tv, and I have NEVER connected it to my iMac. So thats weird. Also, screen sharing sucks with the apple tv. I have a samsung l.e.d $2,100 tv so i doubt its my tv. That thing is flawless. I put my macbook pro onto the apple tv to watch a basketball game and wow is it terrible. It just doesn't stream. And it's not my macbook pro or my internet connection with a speed of 60. After all that, I still really like the apple tv. Ever since Steve Job has passed though, Apple doesn't quite think things through, like copying the iPhone to samsungs as far as size and the curved perimeter. Sure.. make one phone bigger, but at least leave one phone be a classic iPhone. don't make one huge phone and then one practically a mini iPad. Steve jobs wouldn't have done it I know it. He's a thinker. Now on the iPhone 6 or 6 plus its hard to use their back button that is only located on the top left with your thumb. Basically now a 2 hand device instead of 1!! also, i loved how iPhones were more boxy or square instead of curved before version 6. They wouldn't plop out of your hands so easy and you could have a nice grip. Also they use to fit in your pocket much easier before the 6. All those little important things gone!! Rant over! It's just I love apple like many do and they have the money and potential to continue to be the best by far and are messing up as of late in my opinion and it ticks me off.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Canadian Version Lacking
    Reviewed in Canada on November 24, 2014
    It's good, but the Canadian version only comes with two apps that are entertaining for me: Netflix and YouTube. And both of those are already built into the smart tv in my living room and on the Chromecast I use with my bedroom TV. What I really got this for was for iTunes and to be able to mirror my phone onto the TV because I have a Samsung TV and those don't cooperate well with my iPhone. The Apple TV works like a charm with it, and iTunes is flawless. The other great thing about it is I can save a little money by renting movies on iTunes instead of through my cable company. iTunes is $1.00 cheaper, so after 129 movies it'll pay for itself! I had to take away one star in my rating just because there are so few useful apps. 90% of them are sports oriented or in Korean or Japanese, which is fine if you're a sports fan or you speak Korean or Japanese, but those apps aren't even all that great. You can check scores. Whoopee... The American version of Apple TV HAS better apps. Apple has once again overlooked Canada.
