I just wanted to mention I bought an Apple TV over the weekend, and all my H264 stuff plays perfectly compared to the Xbox which crashed. Mediastream is a little bit more sluggish than an HTPC in its navigation, but not so bad you'd notice without comparing side by side. It was a very useful upgrade from the Xbox.
I haven't searched for answers yet, but the one thing I wasn't able to get working easily was the web interface, but like I said, I haven't searched, so off I go...

I forgot to ask, can the Apple TV be networked to my pc running Vista? or do I need a mac. Thanks!

For $160 you would have to be crazy to pass that up! Even if I don't use it as a primary HTPC, it would definitely come in handy in other rooms!

Yep, I just picked one up myself at Target. You really can't beat that price. Heck, the refurbished ones are $199! 'Course, I'm running Windows, so I can't get XBMC on it yet, but I'm patiently waiting...

I looked at one of the local Targets tonight and couldn't find one. I am not sure if they sold out or I just couldn't find one. I am not sure where they would display this product. I will check some other targets tomorrow.

It might just be a local sale by him.

My understanding is that Target has put AppleTV on clearance because they won't be carrying it anymore. That's not too surprising. I don't think I know anybody who actually knows what one is. Heck, if it weren't for XBMC, it would be totally off the radar for me too. I couldn't find it at first either and had to ask for help. At my local store, they keep all of the Apple stuff in a locked glass case (with the iPods and such). If you can't find it, ask! Or even better, do what I did and call ahead first!

Hey where'd you guys get them? I'm calling all the target stores in Seattle and they're like 'we've never sold apple tvs'
