New Apple TV launch date

This is the product I am most excited for! (excluding the Model X for now)
 
As much as I enjoy Apple products the AppleTV has always been the least exciting of their product ranges. The remote is awesome but I'll stick with roku.

Really? I love my Apple TV even more than my iPhone, iPad, MacBook or iMac. Different strokes I guess

Once the app store fills up i think it's going to end up being quite a big deal. Just the flex app will make quite a few people happy.

And that's ignoring the obvious potential of Apple doing streaming TV.

Maybe things have changed but roku and plex gives me what I need without all the mess.

I think Roku already does all the streaming I need - at the moment I've got the usual Neflix, Hulu, Amazon, NowTV, and tonight I might give HBO Now a try.

FWIW if I was living in the US or UK I'd give the AppleTV a lot more consideration.

The lack of the iTunes Store on the Roku is a non-starter for me

While I have nothing against it I think the lack of iTunes is what appeals most to many Plex users. ;)

Isn't Plex one of those old school systems for people that still download their media rather than streaming it? (I've never actually used Plex for that reason). Similar to the old FrontRow and XBMC etc

So you can't stream local content via iTunes anymore?
 
Looking forward to it but not looking forward to the price in SA.

You are right, prices in SA have sky rocketed with the poor exchange rate. I expect this to be one expensive piece of hardware. I will stick to my 3rd gen Apple TV even though I see the potential of the App Store on Apple TV.

My mostly unstable fixed line forces me to use & love my plex server. On plex i have some guarantee of being able to watch that episode to the end
 
The Apple TV is priced as follows:

32GB – $149
64GB – $199

Fixed, non expandable storage. One of the things i do not like about Apple devices. Gives them the opportunity to charge an arm and a leg based only on storage capacity differences
