The AppleTV was given a bad review on the Australian CNET website leaving it one of the worst rated media extenders by CNET.au.

The AppleTV basically allows you to connect your PC or Mac wirelessly to your TV so you can watch and listen to music and video from your PC or Mac. I was also disappointed with the AppleTV and personally think there are better products out there.

According to CNET the Helios X5000 HD Network Media Player, HP MV2020 Media Vault and Netgear EVA700 Digital Entertainer are all better devices.

Apple recently announced it will be adding some upgrades to the Apple TV, the new device that connects your PC and iTunes music and video collection to your TV.

Basically if you use iTunes and have a big iTunes video and music collection the Apple TV can bring all of that onto your TV set via a home network.
