Apple TV - from Staples Canada

My family loves to watch movies every Friday night...with yummy take-out and snacks. Now with our Apple TV from Staples Canada we can watch Netflix on our TV from the comfort of our couch. Plus we can take advantage of all of the other streaming options.

We have several other Apple products - iMac, iPad, iPhones, iPods, iCloud - and Apple TV works with all of these. It can connect the iPad to the TV allowing us to check emails, to or use our TV as a web browser. Apple TV also easily streams YouTube, Netflix and Vimeo. Plus we can play slideshows from iPhoto and Flickr housed on our iMac, iPad and iPhones. (The plug and play feature allows the other Apple devices to be synced, and everything streams wirelessly to Apple TV using our Wi-Fi network.)

The Apple TV is compact (h 23 mm x w 98 mm x d 98 mm) so it can easily sit on other components like receivers/DVD players etc., and it's easy to setup.

I think that an Apple TV would make a great holiday gift - after presents are opened set it up and put on a fun movie for the kids. (My kids are young and they will be up before the sun...they can watch something while I nap sitting up clutching my tea...with Irish Cream in it.) When family and friends come over reminisce while watching slide shows of some photos together. Stream music for the festivities. Relax in the evening when the house is quiet and watch a TV show (like Arrested Development for the sixth time...well that's what I'd choose.)
