The Outdoor Type

Yesterday I wrote a blog post entitled "10 Reasons Why the iDongle is Not for Me." In the article I gave 10 reasons why I'm not crazy about Apple's new Apple TV. The biggest thing for me is the picture quality of the TV that I want to watch.

 

The TV on my HDTV TiVo is just breathtaking.

 

This morning I headed up to the Apple store to check out the picture quality for myself and was very disappointed. On the demo model that they had there (and I'm assuming as a demo at their store they are using the best possible TV and video content they can get) the TV picture quality was just not good enough for me. It's not HDTV quality.

 

They were playing this "terra" channel thing as part of the demo and although it was "DiscoveryHD like" the picture quality is much worse. Maybe this picture quality is "good enough" for most people, but it's not "good enough" for me when compared to the picture quality I get on my HDTV TiVo.

 

Here's my article from yesterday:
