The new 4th generation Apple TV went on sale last week in Australia. I've been using one in my living room a few days before launch to see what's new, and most importantly, if it should take pride of place over all of the other ‘streaming' video devices available.

Apps and Siri in your living room; fantastic remote and interface

Pricey compared to previous Apple TV

My direct tv bills were getting way out of hand. My son turned me on to Apple tv....seems to work well, my only complaint is I can't get FOX News live.

I've had an AppleTV for some time, but found it of limited use for my interests. I'd like to eventually cut the strings with Comcast for TV. This newer version is so much more powerful and useful as to almost be another type of product. I can download APPS, store movies, etc.

I had great difficulty getting the apple tv to work and then difficulty in getting the screen mirroring feature to work consistently. I had to reset the Apple tv to get it to work several times. It kept dropping off.

Apple products are very good, in general they are good devices. Apple programming is responsible for how well they continue to run in time. This product has become more expensive in time but has remained about the same. The technical design changes have been many in time.

Good for I tune account holders as one can listen to music and see purchased movies; The product works for me as I own apple products

Design changes! Buyer beware this device will not work as older models did with most televisions; Must have a high definition cable sold separately; No optical set up or Video,audio cable options; Lately with Apple-products you are paying more to have less options; It is a bad business practice.

I love the new Apple TV. The remote is so easy to use and siri function built into the remote's mic makes searching very easy and fast. The menus and home screen are simple and elegant.

Easy; lots of premium and free content

no 4K

Play games and watch online tv directly to your HD tv via airplay, with this new model you can install games directly to your apple tv and play using apple tv remote... something like Nintendo WII.

Amazing airplay with apple devices

no power off; only sleep

This unit is much better than Apple's first generation TV unit. You can actually load apps that you choose rather than the ones that Apple selected to be on their menu. My one gripe is that every 60 days or so, it makes you log back in to ITunes.

I cut the cable cord a couple of weeks ago and have been totally fulfilled by Apple TV. I stream Hulu, AT&T Watch TV, Amazon Prime, YouTube, HBO Go, and Showtime thru apps. The interface is clean and customizable, as with all Apple products. The setup was super easy.

Have replaced now tv and Amazon boxes with this device. It's got all the main apps (Prime, Now tv, Netflix, iPlayer, btsport etc). It connects to your iTunes and photos. You can also screen mirror from iPhone, iPad, Mac. Love it. If you're Apple it is worth the price.
