Apple TV Take 2

It's now time for "Apple TV take two" - no computer is required. You can rent movies directly on your widescreen TV and you can rent them at DVD quality or you can rent then at high definition quality."

Apple says that at $229 (£116) of cost, the system hooks into the company's plans to offer films to rent over the internet through its iTunes store, also confirmed yesterday. The company further said that it would join film studios including 20th Century Fox and Sony to allow iTunes users to stream movies direct to their computer or TV for a one-off payment of between $3 and $5. And the system will have 1,000 new titles and back catalogue films available by the end of February.

Similar is the concept of BBC's iPlayer and Channel 4's on-demand service, Apple's systems will make downloads usable on iPods and iPhones as well as television sets.

Let's see what more will be there, see the pic now!
