My Apple TV

Apple's widely anticipated new set-top box will revolutionize the way we enjoy television, music, and digital content -- just as Apple's iPod has already transformed the way we listen to music, iPhone transformed the way we use cellphones, and iPad transformed the way we work, play, and consume portable media of all kinds. Millions of early adopters will need a friendly, quick, and 100% practical guide to help them get the most out of this remarkable new product. My Apple TV will be that guide: the must-have, full-color portable companion for every Apple TV user.

Authored by Sam Costello, About.com's long-time iPhone/iPod expert, My Apple TV isn't written for tech heads: it's written for Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma… for everyone, with or without technical experience. Every task is presented step-by-step, using carefully annotated, full-color screenshots, all numbered so there's no chance of getting lost or confused. Everything's clearly organized in modular, self-contained chapters designed to help readers get up-and-running in no time, solve the problems they're most likely to encounter, and get absolutely outstanding results. Costello helps readers set up their Apple TV, get started fast, and take total control over their entertainment… rent, buy, or stream the content they love… get new apps that unlock more entertainment options and make Apple TV do even more… use iOS devices to control, or stream content to, their TVs… enjoy radio, photo slideshows, and podcasts ...and a whole lot more!
