Putting Together an Apple TV Progam List (pt1)

I know a lot of you out there are awaiting your Apple TV. All the movies and TV shows you have already purchased for your iPod will now be easily transmitted to your TV.

A lot of new Apple TV purchasers may not know that there is even more content that you can access FOR FREE, which makes the Apple TV the single most important distribution device for internet media.

Why do I say this? I know a lot of you will point out that the Xbox does something similar. I always like to respond that most of my friends with Xbox’s have iPods as well. Where have they been getting their media content for years? iTunes. This makes the Apple TV a viable option for most early adopters. Not because of any revolutionary invention on Apple’s part, but because it WORKS with iTunes, something that Apple doesn’t really allow with other devices.

There is so much great content on the web. A lot of the most exciting video and audio content being produced today exists on the web. Call it what you will (podcasts, netcasts, vidcasts) the internet is reshaping how we watch video and listen to audio.

Over the next several days, I will be posting a guide to filling your Apple TV with some of the best content out there on the web. We will talk about the best shows out there to get you started, how you can explore the world of internet content for yourself, and the future of this platform.
